He’s a typical WASP historian who thinks celibacy is unnatural. I have no problem with honest portrayal of sins, by celibates and non-celibates. I do have a real problem with those who start from the assumption that celibacy is unnatural
Cuz it’s not. Only those who understand that celibacy is possible, that continence is possible, will truly experience the real joy of marital sexuality. Because even in marriage one has to be continent sometimes.
And only those who truly honor and value sexual expression can be healthy celibates. Each needs the other.
Lea entered his research with a chip on his shoulder the size of Mount Rushmore. Then he gathered anecdotal evidence from the original sources to support his pre-judgments.
Yeah, he’s inaccurate. Any sociologist will tell you that anecdotal evidence is not sufficient.
If he is, where? and I suppose then that anything not directly experienced by the sociologist is merely “anecdotal” and “not sufficient”?
