By Freudian analysis, it is the supreme expression of aggression in an increasingly depersonalized society. Under these circumstances, driving a car should be an urgent matter of concern for Christian moralists, contends France's Abbe Hubert Renard, and in a 306-page book entitled The Automobilist and Christian Morality, he attempts to fashion a schema of ethical principles for the Christian driver...
