I read the FB post several days before it was shared by Fr Nix and was so grossed out that I reported it to FB and asked the poster to delete it. It was incredibly graphic and totally inappropriate for a public forum.

Thank you for the references to this topic and some reliable resources. I was particularly impressed with the discussion by Mr Cuddeback on keeping our intimate lives "our secret." There is something about society that thinks our lives should be an open book for everyone to read and with social media, to comment upon regardless of the topic.

There is also something about social media that makes anyone who can type think they have some mandate to teach or inform on matters beyond their responsibility.

I had to go track down the OP referenced and boy, that was an unnecessary piece of garbage. The entire post was simply gratuitous. Let's just throw a bomb out in the public square and care not for collateral damage! Good grief!

Yes. In my opinion, it had the effect of amplifying sin, not opposing it.

Thank you Leila for this Substack. People are taking matters into their hands who have absolutely no authority to do so, thus muddying the waters even further for couples seeking honest answers to challenging situations in their marriage. Clear and concise explanations are much needed in your very accurate description of “porn” saturated society.

Wow. So many words and some flew right over my head. I had to read three times; I never knew Mr West and I’m a widow now so…?

I remember an article by Fr Tad?, I think the Pilot. Where he ( a bioethicist ) speaks about the body and the amazing systems we have and their use for us. He explains another reason Homosexual activity is wrong. It was really good, I wish I had saved it.
