Try the following quote:

Try this one:

I quite agree with the Archbishop that no sin, simply as such, should be made a crime. Who the deuce are our rulers to enforce their opinions about sin on us? --- a lot of professional politicians, often venal time-servers, whose opinion on a moral problem in one's own life we should attach very little value to.

Letters of C.S. Lewis

That's a quote I haven't seen before: I will try to find it in context. In the meantime, consider my post 223 this thread, and consider how it relates to consensus.

Is the proscription on prostitution merely done by fiat from on high?

Cheers!

According to this site the quote you gave was on homosexuality, not perversion. IIRC on a personal note I think I recall that one of his lifelong friends (Arthur Greeves) was homosexual. Was the letter written as private support to him, or was it a pronouncement of a public stance by Lewis?

Cheers!
