What if the Titanic didn’t hit an iceberg and sink on its maiden voyage? One could reasonably project a scenario in which the Titanic would have carried on indefinitely never hitting an iceberg. What would that have meant for the progeny of luxury liners? Larger, faster, even thinner hulls all based upon the design flaws of the successes of this “alternate universe” Titanic. How many generations into the future do we think we would get before the basic design flaws would cause an even larger catastrophic accident? Many insist that the Catholic Church is out of touch with modern society; but society is continually engineering boats which hit icebergs and sink. Society insists, however, that something must be done about the nature of icebergs, as they are sinking all our ships. Think about it.
