The Archbishop of York, on divorce: “We are told that there is great conflict, between our marriage laws and the conscience of the community. <ls the conscience of the community worthy of that respect? In my judgment there is coming over the conscience of the community a great softness and laxity in moral judgment. It is not the conscience of the comm unity that rebels, it is a certain new stream of thought and tendency which are running strong. We have a very real and clear issue: Is the social life of the country in the future to be regulated at all by the spirit and teaching of Christ? Christ’s teaching is more emphatic on this than on any other subject, and the dangers against which that teaching warns us are clamant, urgent, and increasing. We must remember that this is a time of great sexual excitement and unsettlement. At such a time when there axe so many heedless and reckless marriages taking place, when we are surrounded by these manifest and clamant proofs of the breakdown of the dignity of the solemnity of the marriage tie, are we going to strengthen the barriers that protect the institution of marriage, or open the floodgates?”
