The root of the Pope's thinking - that there are eternal truths no one can change even if one wanted to - is completely incomprehensible to the progressivist mindset. There are no absolute truths, everything's in play, and by "consensus" all we're really arguing is the rate of concession to the inevitable: abortion's here to stay, gay marriage will be here any day now, in a year or two it'll be something else - it's all gonna happen anyway, man, so why be the last squaresville daddy-o on the block? *************
Steyn never disappoints.

If his beloved Europe survives in any form, it will one day acknowledge that. If any society expects to survive, it will first acknowledge that.

You know, I can remember when Pope Paul VI released his encyclical against artificial birth control. I was in my early 20's and very much a liberal. I can remember thinking how ridiculous the Pope's position was...birth control would lead to infidelity, divorce, pre-marital sex, abortion, and a general denegration of women.
Well, the Pope was right in many aspects. We were on a slippery slope then and didn't know it.
I have not read any of Pope John Paul's writings, but I mean to make a concerted effort to do so. I have neglected reading works that might shine some truth on the human condition.
And Steyn is right, as usual.

John Paul II championed the "splendour of truth" not because he was rigid and inflexible, but because he understood the alternative was a dead end in every sense.I love Steyn's work because he's funny. But sometimes, he's just right.
