All questions go unanswered. The sadness of parents who lose their children through abduction stays with them until the end of their lives, with only death bringing a release from the melancholy that has enveloped them. They had lost their child to strangers. They had failed their child who had been stolen from the bosom of its family and deposited with strangers. It had been deprived of its heritage and taken against its parents wishes into a new existence, a new future, and its natural family bonds broken, probably forever.
History is bunk.
For many centuries nothing. All attacks and separations were from without. The Church itself fiercely protected its own faith, its prayers, its liturgical procedures, its own children from outside influence. In the words of St. Irenaeus, carefully preserving the rule of faith and holding it with one soul and one heart, and teaching it with one consent. The Catholic family was nurtured and prospered.
