“Strange theory!” cried I.

“Strange in what? According to all the doctrines2 of the Church, the world will have an end. Science teaches the same fatal conclusions. Why, then, is it strange that the same thing should result from moral Doctrine1? ‘Let those who can, contain,’ said Christ. And I take this passage literally3, as it is written. That morality may exist between people in their worldly relations, they must make complete chastity their object. In tending toward this end, man humiliates4 himself. When he shall reach the last degree of humiliation5, we shall have moral marriage.

“But if man, as in our society, tends only toward physical love, though he may clothe it with pretexts6 and the false forms of marriage, he will have only permissible7 debauchery, he will know only the same immoral8 life in which I fell and caused my wife to fall, a life which we call the honest life of the family. Think what a perversion9 of ideas must arise when the happiest situation of man, liberty, chastity, is looked upon as something wretched and ridiculous. The highest ideal, the best situation of woman, to be pure, to be a vestal, a virgin10, excites fear and laughter in our society. How many, how many young girls sacrifice their purity to this Moloch of opinion by marrying rascals11 that they may not remain virgins,— that is, superiors! Through fear of finding themselves in that ideal state, they ruin themselves.
