Sarah
Williams, lecturer at Regent College in Vancouver, reminded us several years
ago that sexual liberation has normalized every sexual activity except rape and
pedophilia. I have since commented that pedophilia will, by stages and with
some limitations, also become acceptable.
Sexual
permissiveness has spawned a vast increase of pornography, especially on the
web and in particular promoting pedophilia and incest. This is driving an explosion
of child abuse in real life, as illustrated by the following case of child
abuse reported last week in Hamilton Ontario.
A 34-year-old Hamilton man is facing 40 sexual
abuse-related charges. A mother’s boyfriend abused the seven-year-old daughter and
made her available for abuse on Craigslist. Images of the seven-year-old were also
distributed.
Investigators realized they were dealing with
a network of people connected in arranging sexual abuse and distributing child
pornography. To date, the investigation has executed 14 search warrants and 15
production orders, and has seized more than 100 electronic devices.
This one
example is only the tip of the iceberg. Hamilton police laid no charges for
child pornography or child exploitation in 2005. By 2015, those numbers had
risen to 42 for child pornography and peaked at 50 in 2014 for child violations.
Unfortunately,
Hamilton is typical of what is happening throughout Ontario. Provincial police
reported 358 Child pornography incidents in 2005, which rose to 1,292 in 2015.
Child violations followed the trend, from 19 in 2005 to 894 in 2015.
We indicated
previously, sexual pleasure is now a greater good than the welfare of the
children produced by it, leading to the degrading of children as a commodity.
This is the basis of abortion on demand, children without a parental legacy,
but also the proliferation of children as sexual objects.
The
normalization of sexual activities that were previously stigmatized gives tacit
permission to practice other, still forbidden, sexual desires—and a greater cry
for their recognition. Wide-open sexual permissiveness precludes ending the
downward spiral from traditional marriage at some arbitrary point.
Studies consistently show low conflict families of two parents of opposite sex produce the mostly stable and secure children. We should expect this, as the
traditional family is the created means of human reproduction. Those children will be the future bedrock of a stable society.
However, maintaining
the traditional family concept in the current environment is not easy. We need
to persevere in the Truth, to work at ensuring our children have the best
upbringing we can give them, and stand up to the pressures currently bent on
destroying the natural family order.
