By Augustine Franer, Crisis Magazine - With regard to sexual matters, contrary to the pope’s analysis of the situation, nothing could be more important in facing today’s great evils. Disobedience to the commandments of God and nature regarding sexuality are at the root of the moral decay of Western civilization, the civilization the Catholic Church has had the greatest hand in constructing. Abortion, divorce, fornication, homosexuality, gender dysphoria, pornography—not to mention other evils that can be very nearly linked to these, including religious indifferentism and scandalous hypocrisy leading people away from the Church—are all caused directly or indirectly by a neglect of God’s commandments regarding sexuality.
