I feel like you might be on to something with that idea, that what we fear is what has already happened. But is it a black pill or a white pill? That there's no way to win the wider culture war so instead I should focus, for example, on finding school and social environments where freaks won't try to groom my kids. For you, that you're a priest, so you might as well get on with it. Perhaps it's a white pill in how it (a) releases us from worrying about how we'll succeed at tasks that we subconsciously know to be pointless or impractical, and (b) simplifies our choices for what to do next.

I suspect you're not nearly as bad a priest as you think you are. But I do agree with God's directions for you; humans are built for the eternal struggle (of building order and good in the world), and we're only truly human and alive when we're taxing our natural abilities.
