Thanks for posting this. We should see the connection between contraception and the acceptance of so called same sex marriage.

Although the article doesn’t specifically spell this out, I think that the widespread dissent from Humanae Vitae in Catholic academia and among many clergy and laity led directly to the acceptance of same sex marriage and enabled the sexual chaos which resulted from the sexual revolution.

It was not inevitable. The American Psychiatric Association was put under pressure by gay activists outside of it (like Frank Kameny) who infiltrated the APA and disrupted meetings. Then a vote was taken to remove Homosexuality as mental disorder in 1973. A vote, not science. Homosexuality was reclassified in their guide book, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, when a “…“sexual orientation disturbance” was introduced in its place in 1974, and then replaced in the 1980 DSM-III with Ego-dystonic sexual orientation. That was removed in 1987.” Dissidents inside and outside the Church launched a coordinated attack in the Church and outside of it in the late 1960s which continues to this day.

Yes, the Sexual Revolution claimed a number of victims at a time when Americans were more trusting.

The Body of Christ in the West was gradually poisoned. Each of us needs to learn about what happened.

It seems to me that a more likely cause-and-effect is changing fashions in clothing. In the 1950s there was pretty much universal rejection of homosexuality. Now, sixty years later there is close to universal acceptance. Now it is tempting, as in the OP, to associate this with other sexual things. But this is speculation without evidence. There is in my view a far better case that acceptance of homosexuality developed as women began to wear mens clothing, starting with slacks in the 1940s and moving on to the full-blown pant suit in the 1970s. Can it be a coincidence that a candidate for President, winner of the popular vote t a time of unprecedented success for the homosexual cause, virtually always wore a pants suit? Now, there is a growing fashion for men to wear skirts. If homosexuality advanced this far through the pants suit, think of how far it will advance with the man skirt!
