This weekend I was in Hays, Kansas for part of the weekend, to see my dad, but also to attend part of the Kansas Catholic College Student Convention hosted by the Comeau Catholic Campus Center at Fort Hays State University. The convention hosted as its keynote speaker Dr. Peter Kreeft from Boston College who did a bang-up job talking about the causes and incoherences of moral relativism. His most poignant comments for me were his assessements that were it not for the sexual revolution, moral relativism would still be a minority viewpoint among philosophers and in the general public. It is our sexual appetite, fueled by the invention of the birth control pill, that has grown so large that we must justify it by relativistic arguments that eventually hurt the basic building block of society, the family.

KCCSC was fantastic and inspirational, and the discussions of "Catholic sex" rocked my world. Yay Catholicism! Now if we could just get Fr. Jarrett's rendition of "The Servant Song" on youtube, my experience would be complete..
