Wisdom

I told her that I'm against contraception.

Silence.

She'd never met anyone that was against contraception. She'd never questioned the "morality" of contraception at all. It's available, therefore, it's morally acceptable to take advantage of it.

I think that's very common. We think "if science can do it, it must be ok."

Well, science has come up with many things that are not ok. Point in case, the atom bomb.

Wisdom is not defined as the pinnacle of human achievements, but as God's gracious self-revelation. From this self-revelation derives what it means to be human, and consequently, how we are to live.
