It is worth quoting St Augustine's
classic definition: «
True sacrifice is every work done to establish us in a holy fellowship with God, every work tending to the attainment
of that good in which alone we can be truly blessed.»
It is my opinion that much
of the «progress» we have made has formed our collective conscience falsely and that defending the «
classic»
definition of marriage will help to form our collective conscience more towards a
true conception
of the human person and the rights that belong to them.
