For the clueless, Paul Vitz in “Psychology As Religion”, “The Cult of Self-Worship”, Eerdmans and Pater Noster Press, 1994, exposes that “all modern psychological theories of human motivation and personality assume that reward for self (i.e., egoism) is the only functional ethical principle. In short, psychology’s deep commitment to narcissism, egoism, self-worship, the individual, isolated self – or, as I call it “selfism” – has been thoroughly demonstrated.” (p xi). [He references Christopher Lasch, David D. Myers, Michael Wallach and Lise Wallach].

Ignoring the Catholic Church’s foundation by Christ on St Peter, with specific authority as quoted, is selfism.
