 Catholic Culture : Document Library : Abortion, Pederasty, Child Murder Share The Same Roots
Child after child is seized by that blood flow — carried away, violated, slain — and though there is momentary outcry and alarm, and tears by parents, and a flurry of activity by law enforcement, nothing seems sufficient against the tide.
It is not unreasonable to attribute the seeming rise of pederasty with its disgusting abuse of innocence to this public acceptance of the worst kind of abuse, the actual rape and murder of children, destruction first of their innocence, then of their life.
Abortion, pederasty, child murder — all are interwoven in today's denial that some things are evil in their essence and their exercise, calling for the strongest form of retributive justice, since no other sort of recompense or compensation can match the horrible damage done to parents, society —; and most of all the children violated.
