The Need: To restore the Culture of Life and to replace the Culture of Death
By the “Culture of Death” is meant the widespread acceptance of:
- contraception
- sterilization
- surgical abortion
- abortifacient drugs and devices
- widespread cohabitation without marriage
- high rates of divorce
- fatherless families
- pornography
- widespread adultery and fornication
- an aggressive homosexual movement
- euthanasia
Moral relativism has been enshrined and threatens to undermine Western Civilization.
The massive funding of the Culture of Death requires a cooperative response by the laity and the hierarchy alike.
Required: a vision, an organization, a plan, and sufficient resources.
