The Roman Catholics have problems with sex. Big problems over and above the decades-old problem of pedophile priests. They don't really like sex. It's a sin for them outside marriage. They see sex outside of marriage as symptomatic of the breakdown of values in a liberal society.

The breakdown of the values of society is signified by pornography and violence and these are attributed to liberalism, not the capitalist market economy. The next step in the argument is to place the sexual abuse of priests in the context of the breakdowm of values and to use 'breakdown' as a causal explanation for the sexual abuse.

And of course the baneful influence of feminism, the lamentations of which are all over "right" wing catholic websites.
And the decline of "manliness" too. The reluctance of the current generation to volunteer to be slaughtered on the imperial killing fields.
Who along with the feminists have failed to produce lots of babies for the next generation of cannon fodder.
Perhaps they should all read that decades long primer of de-construction Mad Magazine.
A magazine which has poked trickster fun at all of the usual pieties.
