There might be others who claim to be greater experts on Catholic teaching but that’s just because they are wrong and don’t realize it. It’s one thing to set yourself up as a judge of the Catholic Church’s teaching on faith and morals. It’s quite unreasonable to duct tape her mouth first and expect everyone else to agree that’s fair and wise. A certain kind of crusader demands that.

Absurd, absolutely absurd…but then that’s what we expect from this little group…

Instead, it becomes one of a continuum of crazy Catholic prohibitions such as masturbation or watching dirty movies. The 19th Century was a great one for religious craziness. We had Joseph Smith and Mormonism, Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science and Rutherford and Jehovah’s witness. Culminating of course, with the Infallibility of the Pope, a face-saving device when the Papal States were lost to Garibaldi. Ah, Italian back-door politics! They survive to this day. On a wider scale, why should we listen to any (Latin rite Catholic) priest? By definition, these are fellows (no women, for no reason at all) who don’t want to get married or have children. What would they know about these things? Isn’t it a sin for them to even think about them? And do you actually think that any married couple when they make love give one thought to the unity, the procreativity and whatever the other thing is. Who thought this up, somebody going for his doctoral thesis. No , married couples start by having some sex, and then they forget about it. Not worth the trouble. Nor worth us bothering about unless they scare the horses.
