President Birgeneau (C.I., Dec., pp.9-12).

Tolerators of sodomy have learned well from their brothers, the tolerators of prenatal infanticide. Keep pretending that it is all in the day's work for a mother to deliver her child up to death at the hands of an abortionist, and, behold, the culture will soon assume that it is all in the day's work.

Not that the culture has so assumed, but abortionists have succeeded, I think we can say, in muffling protests against this abomination, the number one abomination of our age--with one exception, namely, tolerance for this abomination on the part of authorities, among whom must be counted the media.

And the abomination has borne fruit. It itself was born of tolerance for contraception, and now, in its turn, it has begotten sodomy, the connection being that contraception is an attempt to achieve sterility, and sodomy is sterile by its very nature.

As Dr. Brigid Elson did not fail to note, Dr. Robert Birgeneau, supreme authority at the University of Toronto, had inflexible words of warning for those of us who have inflexible opinions about anti-human-life measures, or who need our awareness raised, or our understanding of anti-human-life measures promoted. Given Dr. Birgeneau's inflexible endorsement of the interchangeability of chastity and unchastity, Moses, too--and Paul of Tarsus--needed their awareness raised and their understanding promoted in view of their stubborn insistence on the difference between chastity and unchastity.
