You do not need courage to be a nonconformist. You just have to have contempt for the common herd.
Today, even Archbishops and Popes surrender to the whims of the populace. Our congregation does "this". Therefore we will do "this". For a millennium or more our orthodoxy has frowned upon certain practices. Now the orthodoxy just smiles.
We know alcohol is bad for us. Yet we smile upon distilleries. We know teenage sex is bad for you. Yet, we simply provide contraception and yes, HPV vaccine.
We know tobacco is bad for us. Yet we do not ban its cultivation in the EC, Africa, India. The speciality of Public Health at least should call for action on lines suggested above. Or, it should tell us where I am wrong.
