I just don’t think a secular society will go along with chastity. So, in order to restore some semblance of morality, we need to restore the basis for morality, which was religion. There are non-religious arguments for our moral values, but it’s an uphill value to win that argument without some religious beliefs underlying them. That’s what I’m saying, not that we can’t overcome a popular social behavior.
I see what you mean. Yet when people who claim to belong to the Church openly espouse immorality, the struggle gets harder.
Our brethren in the Evangelical churches have a lesser problem, as they have been solid and consistant (mainly) about the vital importance of chastity, to my admiration and respect.
His Holiness has pointed the way. Correctly in my opinion. While I totally agree with you that we need to get God back into society, we also need to give a clear moral compass. It has got blurred recently. To borrow a phrase: “Hey, if it was easy, anyone could do it.”
