It is difficult to know how to react to the millions of childish people who populate our public scene.

To some extent they are victims of a catastrophe of cultural atavism and the deliberate destruction of traditions,
including the spiritual discipline of cultivating an inner person. On the other hand, they are barbarous or savage and it is the unenviable duty of those of us who struggle to remain civilized not to concede their election never to grow up and never to cultivate their inner qualities. The choices that such people make, even those that concern their own bodies, have social effects that impinge on everyone. For one thing, the vogue of tattoos and piercing has grossly uglified the public square. It belongs to the wicked aschemiolatry of our time and should be resisted.
