If One Is Right, the Other Is Wrong – The Catholic Thing

Generally speaking, a good poem is not primarily about its apparent subject matter: e.g., love, hate, birds, flowers, death, war, peace, cars, trucks, airplanes, etc.  No, it is primarily about words and combinations of words.  It is only secondarily about its subject matter.

Likewise with the sexual revolution.  It is not primarily about its apparent subject matter: pornography, premarital sex, unmarried cohabitation, easy divorce, promiscuity, abortion, homosexuality, same-sex marriage, polyamory, transgenderism, etc.  It is only secondarily about these things.  It is primarily about the destruction of Christianity.

When I speak of Christianity here, I have in mind certain classical forms of Christianity – Catholicism, Orthodoxy Christianity, and Evangelical Protestantism.  I am not thinking of liberal or modernistic Christianity, which has so thoroughly succumbed to the sexual revolution and the anti-Christianity forces that lie behind this revolution that it no longer truly counts as Christianity.

Liberal Christianity is found chiefly in the mainline Protestant churches, which are rapidly withering away.  But in recent times this weird perversion of Christianity has shown its head among Catholics; and if it continues to flourish among Catholics, most notably among certain northern European bishops, Catholicism too will wither away.

If Christianity is a true religion, then the sexual revolution has been a very bad thing, introducing toxic ideas and practices into the life of the modern world.  Eventually, the revolution may destroy this modern world by destroying the minds and morals of everybody who lives in it.  If, on the other hand, the sexual revolution is a good thing, then Christianity is a bad thing, a very bad thing. And for people who believe that, the sooner the Faith disappears from the world, the better off we’ll all be.

There is a contradiction between Christianity and the sexual revolution.  If one is right, the other is wrong.  Since most Americans today, especially Americans under the age of 40 or 50, approve of the sexual revolution, it follows that they disapprove of Christianity.  But not all of those who disapprove of Christianity realize that they disapprove.
