“We should recall that the early Fathers especially were
born into a culture that was beginning its moral decline, that the Roman Empire
had all but abandoned the institutions of marriage and family, that divorce was
common, as were abortion and contraception, that active homosexuality had
become a norm for urban pagans, that euthanasia and suicide were unhappy
endings to many life stories. You might
call it a culture of death.”
- The Fathers of
the Church, by Mike Aquilina, 3rd edition, pg. 53.
Reading this book may just give me hope.
