Reply #25: GASP. Catholicism is rather obsessed with sex.

[Guilded Lilly]

Too much, not the right *kind*, not the right positions, not the proper intensity, certainly not with women if you are an official of the church, (for what would GOD think of fouling a man's temple of a body with actual intimacy with a woman...)

But by all means, let's brand a group of intelligent people "demons" for wanting to educate both genders and all ages about their bodies and the risks and common sense approaches of protecting oneself from having to FACE the *evvvvvvvilness* of sex! HORRORS. These PP educators want to carve into the power of the misogynist fraternity of the sexually untouched and take away the control the Church has practiced on and preached at their guilt-pummeled followers for generations! The Catholic Church wants to be the owner and regulator of your sexuality!!! Because THEY KNOW. From Altar boy on Up! FIE on natural human urges. Filthy!!
(please don't drown in the sarcasm!)

Firstly, there are Catholic followerers who are incredibly generous, loving, giving and compassionate.
They wholeheartedly believe in their Church. Their faith is essential to their soul. I understand. A person without faith in something is a very empty and lonely way to go through life, no matter what lies beyond it.

However, the Catholic powers-that-be have very little ground to stand on regarding being the keepers of purity and properly pristine sexual practices when you consider they supposedly don't *partake*. PLUS the rash of perverted activity that has been proven among many of their *chosen* celebate leaders is enough to make a sane person choke. Activity that for the most part is accepted or at least excused. THAT kind of corruption of children is condoned?????

This article sounds like it was penned by someone very afraid. VERY. Afraid of sex, afraid of natural human urges, afraid of education, intelligence and afraid of anything that might put a dent in the oppressive control that permeates their patriarchal needs.

Getting off my soapbox before someone kicks it out from under me,
