Varia

Today is Easter when we celebrate the ressurection of Our Lord, and by extention, new life in Christ. Which brings me back to something I've pondered over the weekend. I think it was Mother Teresa of Calcutta who made the original comment during a visit to North America, namely, that one seldom sees pregnant women in our society. This is really strange when you consider how much we are saturated with sex in our Western culture. But then again, ours is a culture that separates sex from marriage, and both from procreation.

What got me thinking about this was the whole Laci Peterson case that has come to a head this weekend with the arrest of her husband Scott. Reportedly, Scott's extra-marital affair began when Laci became pregnant. Laci's death, and that of the couple's child, came during the last month of her pregnancy. My guess? This is someone who took the separation between sex, marriage and procreation to a new extreme. We're likely going to discover in the coming months that Scott was also a severe pornography addict..
