All culture arises out of religion. When religious faith decays, culture must decline, though often seeming to flourish for a space of time after the religion which has nourished it has fallen into disbelief... no cultured person should remain indifferent to the erosion of apprehension of the transcendent.'

A beautiful change of life...

Mandy Smith, former 'lover' of Bill Wyman (guitarist for the Rolling Stones), has come out in support of raising the age of consent in England.  She has gone from being a 'wild child' in the '80s (literally, Smith was 14 when she began her sexual relationship with Wyman), to having become a celibate, Roman Catholic mentor of young women and an advocate for protecting young girls from predators.

Her story is truly inspirational.
