ALL OF THIS sensational reporting about homosexual activity in the Catholic Church is doing Catholics a favor. Obviously the closets needed to be cleaned out, and the publicity is getting it started. But aren’t the newspapers dancing around the central problem — not daring to mention it? Are they afraid to mention it? Years ago in medical school, I learned that many homosexual men try to recruit young teenage boys — 11-, 12-, 13-year-olds, boys who have not yet clearly established their sexual identity as men. The thinking then was that some young teenagers can be guided in either directions...

In The Ethics Aristotle wrote, “men start revolutionary changes for reasons connected with their private lives.” This is also true when revolutionary changes are cultural. What might these “private” reasons be, and why do they become public in the form of revolutionary changes? The answer to these questions lies in the intimate psychology of moral failure. For any individual, moral failure is hard to live with because of the rebuke of conscience. Habitual moral failure, what used to be called vice, can be lived with only by obliterating conscience through rationalization. When we rationalize, we convince ourselves that heretofore forbidden...

Sweden has become so tolerant that it is taking the next step: prosecuting those whom it considers intolerant, even if this means throwing out freedom of...

Slight Problem with New Submarine - It LeaksFri Mar 8, 7:21 AM ETOTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's decision to buy four cut-price submarines from Britain looked a little soggy after one of the vessels sprang two leaks on its very first training exercise. Commander Bill Woodburn, in charge of Canada's submarines, insisted on Thursday that HMCS Windsor had been in no danger during Monday's exercise. But the problem was a further embarrassment for a purchase that is becoming a public relations nightmare. The Windsor is one of four mothballed diesel-powered submarines that Canada bought from Britain in 1998 for C$750 million...
