The Theology of the Body coming through! What a mighty good teaching. Sex is good ... very good. And like anything good, it can be twisted into something misunderstood or bad. But the graces are there from Christ to keep sex good. We can do it and reclaim our understanding and love of sex. I love hope in the Church!

Somebody [I forgot the name under the quote] said "God is love, but get it in writing".

This is my first article post. I thought anything that was todays date would be breaking. Please remove that category it if I have the idea wrong.

My imagination is not that fertile, thank God.

Think: Orange marmalade. Monkeys. Trapezes. Sears Wet-N-Dry vaccuums.

I could never be as cool as the Pope.

He's too cool for school.

Hmmm. Sounds expensive.

To the poster, sorry for the hijack. Might want to pull this one and try again. Maybe Laz (and I) have it out of our systems.

What say LAZ?

Maybe he's going to try to repair Augustine a bit,"

If Benedict XVI did nothing else in his papacy, correcting Augustine's disdain for the human body and its desires would serve mankind immensely.

The idea that sexual desire is somehow sinful in itself is still very much with us, despite John Paul II's strong theologizing to the contrary. Perhaps it takes a disciple of Augustine to bring the world this "Nixon goes to China" moment.

Let us rid humanity of Manicheaism and its dualism forever!

Are you implying that the Pope is going to write about homosexual "love"? Have you read ANY history about this man?
