**The Catholic church sends mixed messages.**

Ever hear of loving God above all things?

Do you quit eating, too?

How how does loving God above all things preclude eating, drinking, breathing, having sex, etc?

Do people who love God above all else not bathe or dress themselves, or wash their clothes or cook meals or shop for food or grow it?

Do you think or does Catholicism teach, that you can’t love God and do those things as well? Or that doing those things mean you are not loving God?

And what does loving God above all things entail that it precludes those things?

The heavy inferrence in that loaded question are monumental, yet allowed in the RF.

Did you ever hear of having a born again personal relationship with Jesus Christ our Savouir?

Ever hear of going straight to Jesus without going through Mary?

It is done all the time by Christians.

People who love God above all things recognize that the Catholic church sends mixed messages.

OK, explain something to me.

God created Adam and Eve and created them with the ability to have sex, the need to have sex, the ability to enjoy sex, blessed them and it, married them, commanded them to be fruitful and multiply, knowing full well what kind of activity that would entail.

Now, WHY does the Catholic church portray a sexless existence, in spite of all the evidence that it is contrary to God’s design for humanity, as such a virtue?
