... but Pope Benedict is right: Our culture is dominated by death and that is the real fight that Christians must face.
“We can say”, he continued, “that also in our own time it is necessary to say 'no' to a culture largely dominated by death; an anti-culture which shows itself, for example, in drugs, in escape from reality, in illusion, and in the false happiness that is expressed in lies, fraud, injustice, and contempt for others, for solidarity, and for responsibility towards the poor and the suffering."
This culture of death, the Pope added, "is expressed in a sexuality which becomes pure enjoyment without responsibility, which makes man a mere object, no longer a person but a commodity."
"To this seeming promise of happiness,” he stressed, “to this apparent life which in reality is no more than an instrument of death, to this anti-culture, we say 'no' in order to cultivate the culture of life. Baptism today is a great 'yes' to life, a 'yes' to Christ, a 'yes' to the One Who conquered death."
For some proof, check out Dawn Eden's continuous work of exposing Planned Parenthood for the evil it is. She consistently shows that they don't represent "choice", they represent a view that of the world that is inherently against children.
