Three hearty cheers for exceptionless norms.

To hell with "pastoral accompaniment," "new paradigms" and situation ethics.

Put the fiends in jail. "Sexual battery", at the very least, would work. I'd even try RICO.

Remember, Situation Ethics was "invented" by Joseph Fletcher, who was an apostate Episcopal priest and a proto-version of Peter Singer. The fault of Situation Ethics is that it presumes that we are smarter than God, and/or that God is not capable of working all things together for good for those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

Once I as taking a math class. The prof went through a horribly complicated proof of a theorem. One of my classmates asked, how does one go about coming up with a proof like that in the first place? The prof responded, you have to go about it the same way you go about justifying your own sins.
