"Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said of the 20th century that it could be summarized in four words: men have forgotten God. He was talking of course about the world wars, the rise of atheism, etc. I have suggested the 21st century can be summarized in six words, which are: men are at war with God. Men are at war with God over the question of who owns creation, who gets to direct creation, who decides human life and its comings and goings. Obviously, as the Church teaches, contraception is one kind of rebellion, [as well as] sterilization, euthanasia, purposely-sterile sex… Notice what all of these do, by the way: they all have the effect of shrinking us, making us smaller, and less connected." —Mary Eberstadt ————————— This quote is from episode 18 of Off-Campus Conversations with Fr.
