SODOMY

Sodomy occurs both within and outside of marriage. The former is not uncommon and deserves our attention first. How can spouses renounce the normal way and engage in a practice as disgusting as it is criminal? How can two reasonable beings agree to shamefully defraud nature? This is what seems very strange at first glance; and what doubles the astonishment is to observe sodomy mainly among newlyweds. “It is generally very soon after marriage,” writes Tardieu, “that men devoted to these depraved tastes begin to impose them on their wives. The latter, in their innocence, initially submit to them; but later, warned by pain, or informed by a friend or their mother, they refuse more or less stubbornly to perform acts that are then only attempted or accomplished through violence.”

...

Let us say, in defense of our times, that sodomy is not a recent phenomenon and that it dates back to the most distant ages. This abominable degradation, which in ancient times was known as Greek love, reached its peak under paganism and survives among modern nations only because of the decline of morality and the abandonment of faith: it is unknown among Christian peoples.

The remedy for sodomy is therefore obvious: it is the practice of Christian life, the honest and legitimate use of marriage. Civil laws are powerless to repress the scandalous abuses we have pointed out, particularly those of conjugal sodomy; God's law is sufficient.
