The Stability of Truth in the Spirit of an Age

"The teaching which I have rehearsed is indeed against the grain of the world, against the current of our time. But that, after all, is what the Church as teacher is for. The truths that are acceptable to a time - as, that we owe it as a debt of justice to provide out of our superfluity, for the destitute and the starving - these will be proclaimed not only by the Church: the Church teaches also those truths that are hateful to the spirit of an age."

G. E. M. Anscombe, female philosopher and feminine genius extraordinaire, from Contraception and Chastity, 1975.
