A PILL FOR PARENTS
STRAIGHT TALK BY BISHOP YOUTH’S PLEASURE QUEST SYDNEY, Monday. The Bishop of Bathurst, Dr. Horace Crotty, in a sermon yesterday said: What modern youth wants is not so much criticism as example. Parents to-day are preoccupied with material tasks. They do not so much lead their offspring as follow them, with an almost comical gluttony, on their youthful pleasure hunt. I have no desire to condemn middleaged people to a life of joylessness, but when middle-aged and old age vacate the throne of moral leadership to scramble with youth at the fleshpots of existence the depths of treachery to God and man surely have been reached. Instead of fuming against modern youth the Church should do something to save it from the things which are poisoning and unbalancing it.
