Text Box: that the materialistic culture which pervades and prevails throughout the world today does not even consider the more than one million children murdered in many countries every year. Very few people think about the children who are murdered after birth, except those who murder them for their own selfish reasons. Very few think of those murdered through abortion, except those who wish to “get rid” of them, and those who make a profit from the murder. And almost no one thinks about those murdered though use of contraceptives, except the pharmaceutical companies and suppliers who make money from manufacture and sale of those chemicals and implements.

Very few think of them, except, of course, that impossible to number very large multitude of individuals who are so murdered, the very few living who oppose their murder, the Heavenly Angels, the Saints, and God.

Without regard to the numerous legalistic definitions, and using common, universally understood meanings of the terms, fetal homicide including causing death by contraceptives and abortion, infanticide including infant euthanasia, and child murder, are only possible where evil has replaced goodness and holiness. They are only possible where there is evil, where there is no holiness. A government which legalizes or which allows any of these in any manner, to any extent, even under the most restricted conditions, is evil without any qualities of holiness except as found in those members of that government who oppose these practices and the policies which allow them and also attempt to reverse those practices and policies.

While the killing of babies is only possible where there is evil, great evil, Text Box: the legalized killing of babies, whether born or yet to be born, feeds and gives nourishment to evil. Evil is thus fed, nourished, strengthened, and becomes more wide spread and pervasive by every instance of such murder.

While evil may seem to be an exercise of some form of strength, or to require the exercise of some form of strength, in actuality evil can only exist where there is weakness. The extent to which evil takes hold of an individual is limited by the strength of the individual. The weaker the individual, the stronger evil may become. The more prevalent evil is in an individual, the weaker is the individual. The same is true of a culture, society, or nation. The individual, culture, society, or nation, may possess strength in a multitude of areas such as physical strength, wealth, or technology. But it is weak and will neither prevail nor sustain itself unless it exorcises evil and replaces it with at least goodness and preferably with holiness. If it replaces it with goodness, that goodness must evolve into holiness if the individual, culture, society, or nation is to survive much less prevail.

Though the struggle against evil must be constant, consistent, and sustained for evil to be defeated, where the struggle against evil is constant, consistent, and sustained evil is always defeated. But this is only possible in an individual, not in any organization be it a culture, society, or nation, because there is no consistency of commitment amongst individuals, and rarely consistency of commitment in any one individual. But where there is consistency of commitment evil is always defeated.

Evil therefore not only is an act of weakness, but also induces more severe weakness. The most severe forms of evil possible by one human against Text Box: another human is killing of the yet to be born, the young, and the old - the most defenseless amongst us. These will therefore not only both sap the strength and weaken the individuals and societies which engage in any of them, but will also cause the downfall and demise of those individuals and societies.

If there is a hopeful or bright aspect to this horror it is the probability that all of those murdered children attain everlasting happiness with God in Heaven through some Divine process of which we are only dimly aware; that the sheer number of murdered children outnumbers the number of murderers thus outstripping the number of those damned by having or committing abortion and providing or using abortive contraceptives; and that many of the women who have abortions repent, though few of those women who use abortive contraceptives repent.

It is of great significance that the very first saints after the birth of the Saviour were the children martyrs known as The Holy Innocents. If only the world would learn from them and their history - but then most of the world really has not learned from The Saviour Himself even though He teaches very well.
