He doesn’t think that with sufficient education the New Jerusalem can be built on earth. Civics education alone, lectures on human rights, exhortations about brotherly love and the common good, will get nowhere unless people are open to the work of grace and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. A humanism that is not Christian cannot save the world

Sounds wonderful to me. And I was raised in a tradition which said just the opposite.
 
quote from the article:

Against this, Ratzinger has been critical of what he calls “claptrap and pastoral infantilism” – “the degradation of liturgy to the level of a parish tea party and the intelligibility of the popular newspaper.”
