Lullaby:
a Rumor of Children
The Empty
Cradle
...
Is
there a better metaphor for the culture of Death that pervades
the West?
It is extremely significant
that among the most vociferous critics of the Catholic Church are
those who stand in absolute defiance against Her condemnation of
three of the most reprehensible moral practices:
-
Contraception
-
Homosexuality
-
Abortion
The first practice intends to prevent life.
The second is utterly sterile and can never produce
it.
And the third extinguishes it.
Such hostility to life itself ... !
A culture that condones
abortion, encourages contraception, and promotes homosexuality,
has no future – for it has no children.
Like Saturn we consume our children and in our old age lament our
barrenness.
Who, we will one day
wonder, will be left to bury us when we are dead?

Name.”
