There seems to be a lot of people setting themselves on “higher moral ground” withouth having to pay the price. Defined by Theodore Dalrymple as “False Apology Syndrome”, many apologize for the failure of others at no cost to themselves. There is a big difference between shame and guilt!
One of the key self-flagellating topics of the church today is apologizing for the countervailing actions of the crusades, history is ignored and only the failure of the Roman church leaders is applied in all cases, very poor view of reality. What do you think?
