Right now, it is enough to mention what has been happening in our own society as we have increasingly thrown off the sexual restraints urged by Moses and Paul. Sexually Transmitted Diseases. The costs and cries of misused sexuality are everywhere. Infatuation and physical conquest replace love. Society's protectors become predators.
Suspicion replaces trust.
Little children are warned about adults. Adults, in turn, are hesitant to greet a little child on the street for fear of being misunderstood. Men are suspicious of other men, and women of both men and women. Families have been turned upside-down because of decades of secret sexual abuse. Husbands and wives struggle with the memories and scars of prior sexual partners.
