About Me
- David Lindsay
- “Before Red Tory and Blue Labour there was David Lindsay. He was arguably the first to announce a postliberal politics of paradox, and to delve into the deep, unwritten British past in order to craft, theoretically, an alternative British and international future. It is high time that the singular and yet wholly pertinent writings of this County Durham Catholic Labour prophet receive a wider circulation.” Professor John Milbank, Professor in Religion, Politics and Ethics, University of Nottingham.

I feel the same about University entrance. Nobody should be allowed to go to Uni until they are at least 25.
Alcohol....well personally Id ban it altogether but the age for consuming it should be at least 30.
As to marriage. Well personally I was 30. But frankly the age should at least be compatible with the Age of Consent.
Are you seriously suggesting that it should be legal to fornicate at 16 but not legal to marry until 21?
Presumably you are not being serious. But if you are serious it is not joined up thinking at all.
The average age of marriage has been steadily rising for many years, and very few people marry before the age of 21. So I don't know what problem your proposal would solve.
I don't approve of fornication, but I can't see any point in an age of consent higher than 18 (not 16, so long as the law was set up to differentiate between adolescent experimentation and adult exploitation).
Marriage is a different matter. I wouldn't allow anyone under 21 to make that sort of commitment. But that is just one of the things that need to be done in order to make marriage more difficult, and thus divorce less prevelant. Any others?
I don't approve of fornication
Can your loyal readers have your personal assurance that you are personally as pure and untainted in that department as the Blessed Virgin herself?
No, I am not free from Original Sin.
You're not free from Original Sin?
So you're unbaptized, but also a "practicing Catholic".
???
How does that work?
I was not conceived without Original Sin.
