plenty of things continue to apply to us, witness the terri schiavo case and the hubbub that caused, end of life issues apply even after conception ceases to be an issue. Being human means that we sin. should we recategorize things as NON-SINFUL, just so that we can feel good and holy ? i don't think so. that IS the problem with the moral decay and the feelgood society that we have and that IS what is driving the push towards modernization. and that is why it must be stopped. RIGHT IS RIGHT AND WRONG IS WRONG. our sinfulness does not change that. upholding RIGHT is a good thing, and why we are happy about a Pope who will continue to do that.
Well said, but here I can now sit and tell everyone else they shouldn't do what I did? I'm not even convinced all of it was sinful. Well, maybe the fun part . . .!
Bear in mind, I think it's good to have a Pope who is strict on moral matters. I know you'll disagree, but I am for a married order of priests. My husband is Greek Orthodox, and their priests can be married, though those from the married orders cannot become Grand Poobah (not disrespecting greeks, just forgot the word!)
