"Those who think that this will be a more gentle and introspective world once Christ has been 'demythologized' should remember what the people of Europe were like, and what kinds of gods they followed, before they bent their knees to Christ."
"Women should not be fooled by the openminded friendship of Playboy and that ilk; the women's fib movement is right up their alley. A separation of sex, love, and new life is what they have been preaching all along. It doesn't bother them a fig if their sex-objects think themselves 'liberated' rather than 'oppressed' the morning after a 'meaningful encounter."'
"I have been at many social gatherings where liberated clerics poke fun at the oldfashioned notions they have thrown off in the last five or so years. Makes you see why Catholics had an Index for so long. If a man's faith cannot take two night courses at Hunter or Berkeley, then he does need protection."
"There is something festering in America today. Well intentioned liberals and updaters know that. They never thought that freedom of expression would lead to films of people copulating with chickens. They are shocked by the horrors (I presume; I hope), but they have been telling people for so long now that free choice for all is the ultimate human goal that they do not know where to turn. Certainly there is a difference between what C. S. Lewis used to call 'cheery lechery' and people paying to see the latest in Times Square, Al Goldstein-produced extravaganzas. There is a disease upon us, and its symptoms are most pronounced in the area of porn. Porn shows us what relativism does when applied to sex, and gives warning of the analogous horrors in store when we allow it to work its way into other areas of our life."
