6-17-2016 – A Word to the Wise: Marvin Olasky describes the environment prevalent among the British high command, where neither the ground nor the naval war was conducted by moral leaders: Montagu was a key member of a social club known as the Mad Monks of Medmenham. Medmemham was a semi-ruined abbey that a leading British politician, Sir Francis Dashwood, had purchased in the early 1750s and refurbished in pornographic splendor. Montagu loved Medmenham’s ‘garden of lust,’ which featured shrubbery pruned to resemble a woman’s private parts. He loved the stained glass windows that contained indecent pictures of the Twelve Apostles, the chapel ceiling with a huge pornographic fresco, the library said to contain the country’s largest collection of pornographic books, and the London prostitutes who came to the abbey and dressed as nuns.
