Divorce once unthinkable is...Where will it all end? Divorce once unthinkable is now a compassionate response to complex human situations; remarriage is now facilitated by "sophisticated interpretations of human sexuality and psychology." even contraception is now not seen as anything more than regulation honoured in the breech rather than the observance.<br />For fifty years, there has been an increasingly frail voice in the parishes defending the truth of human relationships. Humane Vitae greeted if at all with uncomfortable public silence and private cocktail catechesis that this embarrassment would soon be corrected. Yet is is the very nature of this most intimate expression of marriage that lies at the root of the spreading disorder of human relationships. This moment is not sanctified but abused and not merely in contraception but even in fertility treatments; it is not venerated but rather brutalised and from this falls every other rotten fruit of sexual liberation; the rotten fruits of abortion; infidelity; broken homes; child abuse; divorce; civil partnerships and the demand for a revision of what marriage actually is.<br />Catholic parents defend their inability to stop their children copulating with friends by saying things such as,"I don't want to drive them away," or, "all their friends are doing it." the value of chastity is eroded. The time to talk is before the bedroom door!<br />I feel very defeatist. The time to make a stand was fifty years ago; Paul VI wrote eloquently and persuasively and the world ignored him and worse it judged him but worst of all his own priests and bishops ignored him. <br />And now when some do make a stand, who stands with them and who wants to stand with them when one leader of that campaign calls people grotesque and the other landers to blasphemy and obscenity of gay lesbian bisexual and transgender pressure groups offending public decency and mutilating morality in Soho Churches.<br />God help us!Omphalomancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650498011295065898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-59128753011760028022012-08-06T11:47:06.081+01:002012-08-06T11:47:06.081+01:00I'm depressed.I'm depressed.shadowlandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707611566091137431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-62001883731601760402012-08-06T11:04:53.766+01:002012-08-06T11:04:53.766+01:00Good grief, lighten up!
