Indeed.

Amazingly even the heretics are beginning to understand this. Just another example of the true Church being right even when the Truth is out of vogue.

With the seemingly eager assent of my pastor, I am trying to purchase 100 reprints of this article for our parish. It’s an important article, I think.

A more obedient laity might have wondered aloud about the fact that a significant number of priests post-Vatican II seemed more or less openly gay. A more obedient clergy might have noticed that plenty of Catholics using artificial contraception were also taking Communion. It is hard to believe that either new development—the widespread open rebellion against church sexual teachings by the laity, or the concomitant quiet rebellion against church sexual teachings by a significant number of priests—could have existed without the other.

This is one of the most important and insightful paragraphs in this excellent article. For far too long we've been giving a pass to Catholics who approve or practice contraception in the misguided belief that their behavior and beliefs doesn't affect the rest of the Church. Truly it has and continues to do so.
