A few words about the moral situation in Iceland. By Ingibjörga Ólafsson.
Ingibjörg Ólafsson was a very religious woman and lived abroad a lot where she worked in Christian organizations. She was the executive director of the YWCA. Her beliefs are based on Christian values, for her chastity before marriage was fundamental. Children should only be born in marriage. What she is most upset about are the promiscuous children who were very numerous in Iceland. She is upset here about drunkenness, violence, lack of religious devotion and general frivolity, but she thought the worst thing was promiscuity and "much evil sprang from it."
The greatest responsibility lies with those she calls "the purest people", she refers to priests and other officials who should be examples but are not because they are so corrupt." She also believed that the corrupt lifestyle of young people in Reykjavík was evidence of a lack of Christian brotherly love; "the purest people" of civilized nations should devote themselves to compassionate reform work and set a good example in life and work instead of keeping a shield over the corruption as was customary among the better citizens of Iceland. She says that the responsibility for the poor moral state of Icelanders rests on the shoulders of "the purest people" who had neglected their duty to instill good, true Christian values in the people, as they grew up in groups in sin and corruption.
