Spirit Of The Age

This case has generated a lot of comment. I can't say I'm as shocked as most people seem to be. On the contrary, this incident is the entirely predictable end product of forty years of liberalism - and, indeed, it was predicted fifty years ago. I can't do better than use the same quote the Bishop does in his excellent post on a similar topic:

You have destroyed all that which you held to be evil and achieved all that which you held to be good. Why, then, do you shrink in horror from the sight of the world around you? That world is not the product of your sins, it is the product and the image of your virtues. It is your moral ideal brought into reality in its full and final perfection.
