thoughts in and out of season
Happy-talk about homosexuality from those madcap Canadians: Children’s Aid Society seeks gay foster parents: Move reflects changing face of Canadian family. It’s easy for anyone to churn this stuff out. Just take it as obvious truth that sexual diversity is not diverse in any way that matters, that you can do anything at all … More ...
The modern view of sex and “gender” is decisively anti-Christian. That’s not simply because the modern view is opposed to tradition, Christian tradition like all other tradition, but because it reflects a habit of thought that trivializes Creation and makes the Incarnation impossible and senseless.
The problem is that modern sexual views deny intrinsic meaning … More ...
As usual, the wingnuts were right: the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the most widely accepted international agreement ever (the U.S. and Somalia are the only two non-parties), does in fact guarantee children the right, regardless of local law or custom, to be sexually active and get an abortion without parental involvement. … More ...
No surprise here: hundreds of British child welfare professionals, including police officers, care workers and teachers, have been identified as ‘extremely high-risk’ paedophiles by an investigation into internet porn.

Officials suggest that the situation “‘reflects increased sexual risk-taking behavior … possibly due to factors including the availability of effective treatment, prevention burnout, misperceptions of risk and the impact of other health problems such as depression and substance abuse.'” Such things are … More ...
Another study, if you find yourself among people who demand studies: Children of Post-Abortive Moms Have More Behavioral Problems. Not surprising, unless you accept the liberal view that the body is somehow external to the person, so that a woman’s attitude to the life growing within her is something she can choose at … More ...
Since educated people today are convinced that “studies” are how we know things, it’s worth keeping some references in your back pocket. Here’s something recent from Britain, Experiments in Living: The Fatherless Family. Yes, it’s really true that recent changes in family patterns have been bad for almost everybody involved.
The old ball and chain really does work: University of Florida study: Marriage can reduce life of crime. The effect is said to be “strong” among hardened offenders in their late teens and early 20s, although the article unfortunately doesn’t give figures. And it has to be marriage; shacking up doesn’t do the job. … More ...
