Can you imagine how “that man” could do what he did and then fullfill his duties? How could a man be so divided? I’m sure all of us at times struggle with conflicts but to such a degree as this baffles my mind.

Yes, the Church has been consistent throughout history on this subject. It is unfortunate, as Bill points out, that we think of this evil as being only a few decades old.

For example, The Didache [AD 70] declares, "you shall not commit pederasty." Figures such as Justin Martyr, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Cyprian of Carthage, Eusebius of Caesarea, Basil the Great, John Chrysostom and Augustine all spoke clearly against such practice. IMO, what that man did was more than "moral failure." It was much, much more heinous!

First time I have seen the Early Church Fathers quoted regarding abortion. It shows the consistency with which the church has delt with the subject, that is until the 20th century. Shame on us! As far as Biblical examples, what do you think regarding Jeremiah 2:34? Dear James,

Just asking. What he did to his own young son was just a "moral failure". He lost his credentials and his respectable staff position. What would the early Church fathers say about such a sin? Would they say it was just a moral failure. I hope not. Charles James
