I love this that Mark Shea posted today. It really hits the point that evil is really just that darn evil.

"I think Belloc is on to something. Interestingly, sexual licentiousness seems to be the gateway drug hell uses to lead a civilization on to deeper forms of evil."

Looking at abortion pics and video lately has made the direct connection clearer to me, but it's really hard to even get Pro-lifers to look at them.


So, Mark draws on other examples of this in our culture.

"With us, the Perpetual Pepsi Generation, the strategy is different. Start with the dopey Luv of the 60s and then work us on to the avarice of the Yuppy and the cowardice of brutal Machievellians who, first, defend torture as a necessary evil and then laud it as a positive good."

Catholic Apologists have written a bunch lately on torture so I plan to post more about it this week. God really rigged sin to implode on itself. Clever, isn't he? Gotta love God. He thinks of everything!!!
