Why is he taking students to Tijuana from Boise? What's in Tijuana? Drunkenness? Drugs? Child prostitutes?
And what's this "communal penance service" stuff? Is this supposed to be a substitute for confession?
Can anybody help me with this "Theology of the Body" thing? I haven't studied it.
If you'd bother to look, you'd have seen that it was a mission trip:
"Tijuana Mission Trip
St Paul's Tijuana Mission Trip (Jan. 5 through Jan. 13, 2007)
Each year during Christmas Break, St. Paul’s students accompany a Capstone Missions team on a service trip to Tijuana where we do repair and maintenance work on St. Joseph’s Home (an orphanage for children with special health problems), the Missionaries of Charity houses (Mother Teresa’s order) and housing in poor neighborhoods."<{> http://www.stpaulsboise.org/StPauls/tijuana_mission_trip.htm
And if you really wanted someone to tell you, you would have put a link to the site so that anyone could find the answer.
Now, in the morning, when you have full use of your faculties, why don't you ask the mod to delete the thread for you.
I will not touch the Tijuana stuff with a ten foot pole. However:
>JPII said that sex is the meaning of life?
IF this is what JPII said, and that is a big if- he had his infallibility hat on too tight.
Enjoying and worshiping God is the meaning of life. Sex is just a part of His blessings to all His children.
‘Communal penance’ is what liberal parishes do that never bother with Confessions. Well, that is what we ran into in the liberal parish where we did RCIA. It is a pale copy of the true sacrament.
We studied Theology of the Body at our parish recently, in some depth. I do not believe I heard anything about ‘sex is the meaning of life.’ yegad, how banal. I believe it is about human sexuality, rightly boundaried by the Christian walk, is it not?
