CIN - The Ancient Enemy of Mankind, Fr. Throughout history Christians have bought into secular values just as they were losing their credibility in the secular world itself, infusing back into that secular society the very values it had pretty well decided to abandon.
Christians seem to make poor speculators in the world of values.
When I wrote the first draft of this, I was going to state that there wasn't anywhere in this distressing habit of Christians that the evidence was more clear than in the field of psychology. It would seem in view of that that the more accurate statement would be that, in psychology as elsewhere, the obsolete if not obsolescent ideas of a generation past are enjoying a vaguely reincarnated life under the aegis of Christian principle. I doubt there would be much trouble in most Catholic seminaries - our problem seems to be even worse. If the body is warm, moving and willing, too many of our seminaries are willing to take them. With the heavy implication that its contraction had not been the consequence of anything nearly so innocent as a blood transfusion.
