Exerpts (Engel) from – Growing in Love
Introduction and Critique by Randy Engel
National Director, US Coalition for Life
Introduction
As one examines the following exerpts taken from Growing in Love, we can see how the words of Pope Pius XI in his December 31, 1929 encyclical on The Christian Education of Youth are made to stand on their head. Pope Pius XI spoke of the necessity during childhood of employing:
“…those remedies which produce the double effect of opening the door to the virtue of purity and closing the door upon vice.”
Growing in Love on the other hand, opens the door to vice while driving out the virtue of purity. Growing in Love puts sex in the form of child’s play. The problem, of course is, that while the child is being subtly seduced to engage in adult sexual behavior, there is no comparable development at an emotional and psychological level. This artificially produced sexual stimulation interferes with the child’s normal maturation process and brings about a multitude of harmful consequences.
In this program, as in all, so-called sex education programs, the child is robbed of his right to be a child as the latency period is systematically trashed. Both his spiritual life and intellectual life are truncated and overshadowed by a precocious and unnatural sensuality. The child is being turned from his final end who is God and taught to worship the gods of sensual pleasure and vice. It is a truly diabolical act, made doubly so, by the fact that Growing in Love is packaged as a form of religious training and formation and bears the official Imprimatur of the Church.
The authors’ obvious purulent obsessions with orgasms, foreplay, erections, masturbation techniques and oral sex are reminiscent of a Masters and Johnson training seminar and reveal much more about the authors’ motivations, I think, than they intended. They bring to mind George Orwell’s observation that “There are things so foolish, that only intellectuals (or in this case pseudo-intellectuals) can believe them.”
Growing In Love – These are mixed selections from the pages of Parent’s texts, Student texts, Family Resrouce Book, and Teachers’ manuals. There are also videos and other materials that make up the $500 plus package. Please note that experience has shown that explicit sexual materials found in the family texts (such as the salacious instruction on oral sex) always find their way to the schoolchildren especially the more sexually sophisticated students who are drawn to matters of an adult prohibitive nature. This material is then filtered down from the oldest to the youngest child so that few children are left untouched by the filth.

Answering your child’s questions:
Why do grownups have bigger penises and breasts than children? You may have seen Mom or Dad (or an older brother or sister) without clothes and noticed the difference in these body parts. Both the penis and the female breasts begin to grow when a child reaches the early teen years. Yours will grow, too, as you grow. Each person grows at his or her own rate. A man has a larger penis and testes to help him be a father. A woman has larger breasts to help her feed her babies. What does ‘having sex’ mean? You may have heard people talking about sex. Sometimes they make jokes about it, or talk about it as if sex were dirty or bad. But God made sex for a beautiful good reason. When a man and a woman really love each other, they may get married. They then show their love and closeness by kissing, hugging, and holding each other in a special way. This special loving embrace is called sexual intercourse, or ‘making love.’… Where do babies come from? Sometimes when a husband and wife make love, the wife becomes pregnant. This means she is going to have a baby… When it is time for the baby to be born, the mother’s body helps push the baby out of the uterus and out of the mother’s body through her vagina…
What does being ‘gay’ mean? You may have heard about gay people on television or in movies. Maybe you have heard children call each other ‘gay.’ People, who are gay, or homosexual, are sexually attracted to people of their own gender instead of the other gender. A man who is gay loves another man. A woman, who is gay, or lesbian, loves another woman. Some children grow up in families where the adults are homosexual partners, although people who are gay are not allowed to be legally married to one another. No one knows for sure why some people are gay. Most people are straight, or heterosexual. (pg. 14, 15, 16)
Engel Comments:
Notice that the author use the politically loaded term “gay” as opposed to homosexual in the above paragraph of homo-agit-prop.
Coming as it does on the heels of a description of conjugal love between man and wife, the implication is clear – homosexuals do what loving heterosexual do, the only difference being that they do it with a person of the same sex.
Now the fact, that marriage is a sacrament and conjugal love is blessed by the Church while homosexual acts are an unnatural perversion and condemned by the Church, don’t seem to penetrate the psyche of the authors who seem intent on equating the two. They know that most normal decent people haven’t the foggiest notion of what homosexuals do in bed nor do they care. And the authors are intent in keeping them in a state of ignorant bliss so that they can convince parent and child alike, that homosexual sex is pretty much normal sex. But it is not!
Homosexual acts which range from pederasty to sodomy to sado-masochist sex or to the ingestion of human urine and human feces are esthetically disgusting and biologically disastrous. And whereas monogamy is the ideal (if not the practice) among most heterosexuals, rampant promiscuity and anonymous sex is the preference of homosexuals, at least until the age of 30 or 35, at which time they begin to suffer from ageism (as in sexism) and the isolation and loneliness of the homosexual “auntie,” who now must pay for sexual favors which he used to get free.
How dare the authors of Growing in Love compare the narcissistic and ego egocentric scratching of an erotic itch with the marriage act! When one adds to this behavior the degrading reality of the urban homosexual milieu with its prostitution, pornography, the occult, drugs, inter-homosexual domestic violence, and murder and mayhem and organized crime, it’s clear why the authors don’t want to “out” the truth about homosexual behavior. “ Donna” may prance and camp around in an effeminate manner with her falsetto voice and limp wrist, but when she, that is “Donald” kills, he kills like a man.
One wonders if the homosexual character of Will in the television pro-homosexual sit-com Will and Grace will be as glamorous or amusing, when, like the skeletonized figure of the Marlborough man, he lies dying from AIDS in a hospice bed at the age of 43 with his flesh melting off his bones and his eyes protruding from their sockets, incontinent and unable to control his bowel movements, drugged into unconsciousness, and surrounded by grieving, inconsolable aging parents and grandparents and sibling – all thinking the same thoughts – what if….

Your child may also have questions about particular nontraditional living situations. Some single parents have live-in relationships. The partner, who may or may not be the parent of the children, may take on parental responsibility to a greater or lesser degree. Some children live with two women or to two men. Same-sex parenting describes a situation in which gay male or lesbian partners share responsibility for raising the children of one or both partners from pervious heterosexual relationships. Same-sex partners may also adopt children, act as foster parents, or conceive children through artificial insemination. The Catholic Church consistently teaches that any non-marital live-in relationships involving sexual intimacy of whatever expression are morally wrong because they do not reflect what marriage and family are to be. (pg. 9)
Engel Comments:
Once again, the authors bend over backwards to demonstrate that homosexual cohabitation is “normal” as is the adoption of a child by two homosexuals. Both however are perverse. Homosexuals live in a fantasy world and “playing house” or playing “mommy and daddy” or “butch and femme” is part of that fantasy world. In such sad cases, the adopted child is the looser. Until rather recently, the Church opposed adoption by homosexual partners but that opposition has begun to erode under the relentless pressure of the homosexual lobby.
As for the matter of artificial insemination, the text in no way indicates that this practice is absolutely condemned by the Church – for both heterosexuals and homosexuals. This omission alone, which should have been picked up by the censor from the Archdiocese of Dubuque, is enough to prevent Harcourt from procuring an Imprimatur.

Marital touch involves deep kisses and other touches that bring pleasure, arouse the senses, and lead towards sexual intimacy. Tell your child that martial touch is private touch between a man and a woman in a loving marriage. Marital touch occurs in private places. That’s why children need to respect their parents’ privacy and knock on bedroom doors before entering. (page 10)
Here are some points you can share with your child… A new human life begins when an egg cell from the mother and a sperm cell from the father join in the mother’s body. The tiny new life settles into the woman’s uterus, or womb, a special sac below the woman’s stomach. There the new baby will grow and bet nourished for nine month. Inside the uterus the baby gloats in warm fluid. The baby gets good and oxygen from the woman’s bloodstream through a tube called the umbilical cord. In the womb a baby sleeps, moves, sucks its thumb, and even hiccups. When it is time for the baby to be born, muscles in the woman’s body help push the baby out. The baby comes out of the woman’s body through her vagina, which stretches to allow the baby to pass through. Sometimes it is safer for the baby and the mother to have a doctor remove the baby from the mother’s uterus in an operation call a cesarean section. (page 13)

HIV and AIDS: Your child will have heard references in the media and at school to HIV infection and AIDS. Most children are aware that AIDS is a serious, life-threatening disease, and some children may associate HIV infection and AIDS with a sense of social stigma. In early childhood it’s most important that your child gain a clear idea of what AIDS is and how he or she can avoid infection… Assure your child that HIV infection and AIDS are not common diseases among children. The virus (germ) that causes AIDS is not easily transmitted except through sexual contact or the use of contaminated needles (pg. 9)
Engel Comments:
According to the Growing in Love authors, children ages 6-7 in second grade should have “a very clear idea of what AIDS is….” Why? So teachers can have an excuse to discuss homosexual acts in general and sodomy in particular? After almost two decades of research, scientists still not have unraveled the complex mysterious of AIDS. But a small child is expected to have such knowledge!

Talking with Your Child About Conception… A Simple Explanation of Conception. Husbands and wives have special times to be loving with one another as married people. As part of this lovemaking, the husband places his penis in the vagina of his wife. Sperm cells in the vagina of his wife. Sperm cells from the man are released into the body of the Woman. If an egg cell has been released in the woman’s body, it may join with one of the sperm cells. When this happens, the egg cell has beenfertilized. The egg cell and the sperm cell now joint to form a special new cell that is the beginning of a new human life. Their joining is called conception, which means ‘beginning.’ This new cell has everything it needs to grow, cell by cell, into a person. Half of what each human life needs comes from the woman’s egg cell. The other half comes from the man’s sperm cell.” (bold-underline added) (pg. 12)
Answering your child’s questions. What is an erection? An erection is the enlargement and hardening of the penis caused by increased blood flow. The penis becomes thicker, longer, and firmer, and extends upward and outward away from the scrotum. Erections are usually associated with sexual excitement, which can be physical (stimulated by touching) or emotional and mental (stimulated by sexual thoughts or fantasies). But erections are also common during sleep or in other situations that aren’t consciously associated with sexual excitement. Boys can find these spontaneous erections embarrassing, but an erection will subside in a short time as the blood flow decreases. Other body parts besides the penis (the clitoris and vaginal lips in girls and women, the nipples and lips of both men and women) can become erect or fuller through conscious or unconscious stimulation, though they are less noticeable than the erection of the penis.
What is sexual intercourse? In marriage God gave men and women’ the gift of a very special way to express their love for one another, increase their closeness, and help make new life. This gift is called sexual intercourse. When a husband and wife want to express their love in this way, they usually take off their clothes and hold each other closely. They touch, hug, and kiss. Their closeness feels very good. These pleasurable feelings cause the man’s penis to become erect. The same feelings cause the woman’s vagina to become warm and moist. In sexual intercourse the husband places his erect penis into his wife’s vagina. This special closeness may cause intense sexual excitement, called orgasm (climax, coming). Semen, a fluid containing sperm cells, is ejaculated (forced out) from the man’s penis into the woman’s vagina. If there is an egg cell present, a sperm cell may join with it to conceive a new life. If the fertilized egg implants itself in the uterus, the woman becomes pregnant… [Note: text states that pregnancy begins at implantation]

Remember the days in Catholic schools when an “ejaculation” meant a short prayer taught to children and youth such as “My Lord and My God?”

What’s a ‘wet dream’? A ‘wet dream’ is the popular term for a nocturnal emission, a spontaneous release of semen during sleep. Boys going through puberty often experience wet dreams. Don’t be alarmed if you wake up and find your sheets are wet or sticky. You may find that nocturnal emissions are associated with sexual thoughts or dreams, and your penis may be erect. That’s normal. During puberty, your body begins manufacturing sperm cells and semen, the fluid that carries them. At certain times, your body needs to release excess sperm cells and semen, so you spontaneously ejaculate during sleep. These spontaneous ejaculations will become less frequent as you get older and your body begins to regulate the production of sperm cells…
What is masturbation? Masturbation is deliberately touching the genitals to cause sexual excitement, often leading to orgasm. Masturbation can be individual (often accompanied or caused by reading or watching sexually graphic materials) or mutual, as when partners manually stimulate one another’s genitals as an alternative to sexual intercourse. Both boys and girls may be tempted to masturbate, especially during the time of puberty when hormones cause an increase of sexual attraction and sexual fantasies. Although masturbation does not cause physical harm, it is a misuse of God’s gift of sexuality because it separates sexual pleasure from its true place and meaning, within marriage… If you find that you are struggling with sexual feelings and the urge to masturbate, don’t be embarrassed. Talk to me about way you can channel your feelings into more positive activities…

What is a ‘period’? A menstrual period is the monthly shedding of bloody fluid through the vagina that girls and women experience when they are not pregnant. From the time she reaches puberty until late I her life, a woman is capable of becoming pregnant. Each month a woman experiences strong emotions as her body goes through a process called the menstrual cycle that helps prepare for new life. (pages 14, 15, 16)

Talking with Your Child About Reproductive Anatomy… Be clear and candid. Use the correct terms, not euphemisms or slang terms, for body parts. Refer to the diagrams (Figures 4-1 and 4-2) and the boxed information on this page for help. Be prepared to answer questions about both male and female reproductive systems. To alleviate mystery and the misconceptions that can result from ignorance, be sure to talk to your child about both genders…
How the Reproductive Systems Work. In talking with your child, use as much of the following information as serves your purposes and meets his or her needs. The male reproductive system has both internal and external organs. The testes, two glands located outside the body in the pouch called the scrotum, produce sperm cells. Sperm cells are stored inside the body in the epididymis until they mature. When the penis, the external reproductive organ located in front of the scrotum, is stimulate, it becomes firm and erect. This stimulation causes sperm cells to move through the seminal vesicle to the vas deferens, where they are mixed with a fluid called semen. At orgasm, semen is ejaculated through the penis. The female reproductive system is entirely internal. The ovaries, located in the abdomen, store and release mature egg cells. An egg cell travels into the fallopian tube, where it may be fertilized by a male sperm cell. The fertilized egg then implants itself in the uterus, or womb. Sperm cells enter the female body when semen is ejaculated into the vagina, the opening into the woman’s body, by the penis during intercourse. The clitoris, which is sensitive to stimulation, does not contribute directly to reproduction but may increase the muscle contractions that accompany orgasm in the woman, helping bring the sperm and egg into contact.

The parts of men and women’s bodies that are used to make a new life and to give birth are called the human reproductive system. Men and women’s reproductive systems are different but complementary… After young people have gone through puberty, they are fertile… A boy’s body begins to produce sperm cells. These are the cells that when joined with a female egg cell form a new life. A man continues to produce sperm cells through his adult life. A baby girl is born with many egg cells in her body. But the egg cells are not fully developed because her body isn’t ready to have a baby. During puberty the egg cells mature. About once a month, an egg cell is released in a girl’s body. This means that her body is capable of having a baby. A woman continues to release egg cells until she is between forty-five and fifty-five years of age… As you grow in new and different relationships you need to recognize and use appropriate ways of showing love. This includes the responsible use of your sexuality… Single people are called to remain virgins before marriage… (pages 7, 11, 12-13, 23, 35)

Answering your child’s questions: What is foreplay? Many animals mate in order to reproduce, but humans are capable of expressing love and building emotional closeness through sexual activity. That is why the sexual act, for humans, is much more than intercourse. Foreplay is the term we use for the kissing, hugging, and sexual touching that leads to intercourse. Through foreplay, the husband and wife increase each other’s pleasurable feelings and communicate their desire. Foreplay helps prepare the bodies of both partners for intercourse, promoting the erection of the man’s penis and the woman’s clitoris, and contributing to the softening and moistening of the woman’s vagina…
What does orgasm feel like? There’s no easy way to describe the sensations associated with orgasm or sexual climax, because they’re not like anything else. Some people have attempted to compare orgasm to a sneeze, which is equally explosive and hard to describe! God created the human body capable of this intense excitement and pleasure in order to increase the bond of love between a husband and wife. Men and women experience orgasm differently from each other, and each individual experiences it in a unique way also. Orgasm is accompanied by a number of physical changes in the body. As sexual excitement increases, the body concentrates its resources on the genital area. Both men and women may experience a building muscle tension. The heartbeat and the breathing increase rapidly. Some people experience flushing, or reddening of the skin, as blood flow increases to the surface of the skin. In men, orgasm is marked by a series of muscular contractions that expel semen from the penis. Women also experience muscular contractions of the clitoris, vagina, and uterus, and vaginal lubrication may increase suddenly. Orgasm lasts only a few seconds, after which the body relaxes and begins to resume its regular rhythms. The penis quickly becomes limp. Men need a time of rest before the penis is capable of becoming erect again, but women are capable of experiencing multiple orgasms with little or no interval between them. It is not necessary (or even usual) for the husband and wife to come to orgasm at the same time. While a man almost always experiences an orgasm during sexual intercourse, a woman may not, although she may still experience pleasurable feelings. Direct stimulation of the clitoris, which may or may not occur during intercourse, usually brings a woman to orgasm. For conception to occur orgasm is not necessary, even for the man, since some sperm cells may leave the penis before it is fully erect.
Engel Comments
An orgasm is like a sneeze! Are the authors idiots or eunuchs? Do the authors of Growing in Love actually think that by describing the mechanics of sex that they have somehow managed to convey to little children even an inkling of what actually transpires between man and wife when they become “one flesh.” Unfortunately, children are keen observers but poor interpreters. Many, when exposed to descriptions or visuals if the sex act tend to associate it with violence against woman. Hence such exposure to young children is harmful not only morally and spiritually, but psychologically as well.

What is ‘French kissing’?
What’s a ‘hickey’?
So-called ‘French kissing,’ or ‘wet’ kissing, is kissing with the mouth open,allowing one person’s tongue to enter the other’s mouth. This kind of kissing is more intimate, pleasurable, and personal than closed-mouth kissing. It is an example of an activity associated with petting from which unmarried people should abstain. [Why describe the act then?] A ‘hickey,’ or love bite, is a small round bruise or red swelling on the skin (often on the neck or breasts) caused by intimate kissing that accidentally or deliberately includes biting or forceful sucking…
What is oral sex?
Oral sex involves using the mouth, lips, or tongue to stimulate the genitals, or inserting the penis into the mouth. Using the mouth and tongue to stimulate the vagina and clitoris is called cunnilingus. Using the mouth and tongue to stimulate the penis is called fellatio. Both homosexual and heterosexual couples engage in oral sex… (pages 14, 15, 16)

To celebrate their special bond of love, husbands and wives have the gift of the intimate expression of their sexuality calledsexual intercourse. Within the covenant of marriage, sexual intercourse brings two people together physically, emotionally, and spiritually in the closest possible way. The pleasure the spouses experience in sharing this special joining of their bodies is intended to deepen their love and unity and demonstrate their willingness to welcome children… The love between a husband and wife has two dimensions. Love brings the couple together, and love calls them to be open to new life. Sexual intercourse expresses both these dimensions of married love. Through joining their bodies, a husband and wife experience a closeness that may also result in the conception of a child… The gift of new life is precious. While parents are called to be responsible in conceiving children, the Catholic Church teaches that only natural means may be used to regulate conception. Other means, such as condoms and birth control pills, may not be used… As our bodies develop and mature, most of us become attracted to people of the other gender. This tendency is called heterosexuality. (Engel Comments: Heterosexual is the biological norm not a tendency. End Comment) Heterosexual attraction is part of God’s plan to prepare men and women to marry and have children… Some people continue to be attracted primarily to those of the same gender. This tendency is called homosexuality. (pages 47, 48, 54-55)
Engel Comments
Its never too early to begin birth control propaganda. Note that heterosexuality which is Nature’s biological norm is treated as a “tendency” just like homosexuality is said to be a “tendency.” This treatment is consistent with the famous and fraudulent Kinsey sex scale.

Catholics Believe. Have a volunteer read this statement aloud. (‘To celebrate their special bond of love, husbands and wives have the gift of the intimate expression of their sexuality called sexual intercourse… The pleasure the spouses experience in sharing this special joining of their bodies is intended to deepen their love and unity and demonstrate their willingness to welcome children.’) Ask the students to pay attention, as they move through the chapter, to ways in which faithfulness and openness to new life are woven together in the marriage commitment. Working with the Text. Continue reading aloud or summarizing the text. Use Vocabulary below to help the students review their understanding of the boldfaced term [sexual intercourse]. Why does the Church teach that sexual intercourse is reserved for married persons? (because this act is the most intimate union of humans and this union is honest only when a man and a woman have made a public permanent commitment of fidelity to each other) Vocabulary. Sexual intercourse is the special physical act of love intended for marriage. It is the most intimate, loving embrace of a man and woman. During sexual intercourse the couple are unity physically by placing the man’s erect penis into the woman’s vagina… The conception of a child occurs when the man’s sperm cell combines with the woman’s egg cell… Sexual desire is the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual longing for sexual intimacy and pleasure. Individuals in all vocations are called to balance sexual desire with chastity. Lust is the misdirection of desire, most often associated with sexual desire. When lust is acted upon, it becomes a selfish misuse of sexuality. Lust is an exaggerated and exclusive attraction toward sexual pleasure. (pages 47, 48, 55)
Engel Comments
Note the consistent preoccupation of Growing in Love’s with the pursuit of pleasure. This is keeping with the main goal of homosexuality – the sterile pursuit of pleasure.

Answering your child’s questions: What is foreplay? Many animals mate in order to reproduce, but humans are capable of expressing love and building emotional closeness through sexual activity. That is why the sexual act, for humans, is much more than intercourse. Foreplay is the term we use for the kissing, hugging, and sexual touching that leads to intercourse. Through foreplay, the husband and wife increase each other’s pleasurable feelings and communicate their desire. Foreplay helps prepare the bodies of both partners for intercourse, promoting the erection of the man’s penis and the woman’s clitoris, and contributing to the softening and moistening of the woman’s vagina… What does orgasm feel like? There’s no easy way to describe the sensations associated with orgasm or sexual climax, because they’re not like anything else. Some people have attempted to compare orgasm to a sneeze, which is equally explosive and hard to describe! God created the human body capable of this intense excitement and pleasure in order to increase the bond of love that sexual intercourse was designed to create between a husband and wife. Men and women experience orgasm differently from each other, and each individual experiences it in a unique way also. Orgasm is accompanied by a number of physical changes in the body. As sexual excitement increases, the body concentrates its resources on the genital area. Both men and women may experience a building muscle tension. The heartbeat and the breathing increase rapidly. Some people experience flushing, or reddening of the skin, as blood flow increases to the surface of the skin. In men, orgasm is marked by a series of muscular contractions that expel semen from the penis. Women also experience muscular contractions of the clitoris, vagina, and uterus, and vaginal lubrication may increase suddenly. Orgasm lasts only a few seconds, after which the body relaxes and begins to resume its regular rhythms. The penis quickly becomes limp. Men need a time of rest before the penis is capable of becoming erect again, but women are capable of experiencing multiple orgasms with little or no interval between them. It is not necessary (or even usual) for the husband and wife to come to orgasm at the same time. While a man almost always experiences an orgasm during sexual intercourse, a woman may not, although she may still experience pleasurable feelings.Direct stimulation of the clitoris, which may or may nt occur during intercourse, usually brings a woman to orgasm. For conception to occur orgasm is not necessary, even for the man, since some sperm cells may leave the penis before it is fully erect.
What is ‘French kissing’? What’s a ‘hickey’? So-called ‘French kissing,’ or ‘wet’ kissing, is kissing with the mouth open,allowing one person’s tongue to enter the other’s mouth.This kind of kissing is more intimate, pleasurable, and personal than closed-mouth kissing. It is an example of an activity associated with petting from which unmarried people should abstain. A ‘hickey,’ or love bite, is a small round bruise or red swelling on the skin (often on the neck or breasts) caused by intimate kissing that accidentally or deliberately includes biting or forceful sucking…
What is oral sex? Oral sex involves using the mouth, lips, or tongue to stimulate the genitals, or inserting the penis into the mouth. Using the mouth and tongue to stimulate the vagina and clitoris is called cunnilingus. Using the mouth and tongue to stimulate the penis is called fellatio. Both homosexual and heterosexual couples engage in oral sex.. (pages 14, 15, 16)

“Lust is an excessive desire for sexual pleasure only, with little or no concern for intimacy and without commitment or responsibility toward the other person… Masturbation is the deliberate self-stimulation of the genitals solely for one’s own sexual pleasure. It is an abuse of sexuality because it does not fulfill the God-given purpose of sexual activity; that is, it does not promote the loving unity of a couple and it does not contribute to procreation. ” (pages 38, 39)

Engel’s Concluding remarks
Students of Growing in Love can now graduate elementary school with a minor in math, English, social studies and the sciences, but with a major in sex. And what will the end product of this sex program be?
Psychiatrist Dr. Melvin Anchell sums it up in his classic book “What’s Wrong With Sex Education.”
“…One of the results of this indoctrination process (i.e. sex education) is the formation of a ‘horde culture,’ characterized by ‘sexual indulgence’…devoid of love. The indoctrinated show no guilt, nor do they display concern for morality.”
They are indeed the new barbarians.
