They were not sexual, but he felt that they were "too emotionally intimate." The whole men and women cannot be "just friends."<BR/><BR/>Well, he was right and I hate(d) him for it. <BR/><BR/>However, his propensity to go the law is a little much. It leaves people (like me) asking, "And who are you again?" It's no wonder he's left Anglicanism for Rome.<BR/><BR/>Anyone else who finds themselves at a cocktail party with J. Budziszewski don't get stuck in a corner with him.<BR/><BR/>-apAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859222.post-1148655489618977582006-05-26T15:58:00.000+01:002006-05-26T15:58:00.000+01:00I think it's only contradictory if you assume that...I think it's only contradictory if you assume that fathering children is correlative to "the moral readiness to assume its responsibilities." The problem is not that we don't marry and have children, it's that we don't pursue the qualities that make us fully adult because we are still too busy pursuing youthful lusts.J.P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17372026727951711823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859222.post-1148229452377335572006-05-21T17:37:00.000+01:002006-05-21T17:37:00.000+01:00Are the men in their forties unwed and absent fath...Are the men in their forties unwed and absent fathers? Otherwise, if it is "the unnatural prolongation of adolescence [that] poses a variety of moral problems", how could JB say of the man who begat children in his early twenties that his "very capacity to face the moral life has been impaired?" That last bit seems to be contradictory to the first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859222.post-1148175570092057202006-05-21T02:39:00.000+01:002006-05-21T02:39:00.000+01:00Albert Mohler did an interesting seminar on this s...Albert Mohler did an interesting seminar on this subject, although it was full of law.
