What is it about?
Dr. Max Levin’s article from 1967 is couched in the language and issues of his time: the beginning of the sexual revolution. Like Pope Paul VI, he is prophetic in his assessment of what will come of this change in sexual mores. It is tempting simply to read the article as a somewhat quaint-sounding foreshadowing of our current situation. To do so would be to miss a great deal that is relevant to where we are now and what we are called to do.
