THERE are many people in Western society who do not know about our lower nature. Not many decades, ago it was covered up. It existed, but shame caused it to be hidden.
Now, mainly through government legislation, which lowered the age of consent to 16 years of age for practising homosexuals, and the willingness of bishops of the church to ordain those who practise it, they have lowered the standard of life.
Though some people do know about lower nature, the new moralists refer to it as natural. The new moralists say "whatever is natural is right." But they, like the bishops, appear to forget that our lower nature is in need of control. What is lower needs the mastery of what is higher, or the result is degradation.
