But in today’s world of endless choice, instant gratification, and personal convenience, faith is no longer practiced with the same depth, discipline, or devotion. Instead, many have become what I call “Cafeteria Catholics”, believers who stroll through the buffet line of doctrine, picking what they like, leaving behind what they don’t.
