An academic and theologically grounded intellectual should not need to resort to language easily confused with gratuitously sexual innuendo.
I can see the points he was making but language allows many ways to be colorful without it being distasteful, tricky to navigate but not impossible.
I tend to agree the writings are at least not in the best form of a spiritual message.
Not sure it is an edifying way to present the word, but willing to acknowledge some my glean something from the writings.
Well said. I think some priests spend too much time in their enclaves and do not have enough lay friends to help them with their awkward ways. What should have happened in this case is, "Hey, I get what you're saying, but can you re-word this? I fear we will lose people who misinterpret it".
