Dirty books
I was so disgusted with my best-laid plans for the Valentine's Day posting thing with my thwarted attempts to relay a romantic to the grave story that I forgot about this post that I was saving for Valentine's Day. So here it is, a few days late:
I joke a that I sure like a lot of smut for an occassional theology student. I try to talk about the smut enough so no one confuses my little blog with a real Catholic blog, like Open Book or even Corbin's. Some of those commentors that flock there like nematodes make me look sweet and polite. And besides, would you be reading this if this were a real Catholic Blog? Yeah, that's what I thought :-).
There's this area in Catholic Theology called Theology of the Body. Corbin knows so much more about this than I so you can email her or check out her blog and demand more information if you are really interested in it. One website defines Theology of the Body as " Pope John Paul II's integrated vision of the human person - body, soul, and spirit. As he explains, the physical human body has a specific meaning and is capable of revealing answers regarding fundamental questions about us and our lives." Rooted in Scripture (of course, but that is always news to non-Catholics), the Theology of the Body delves into how physical experience relates to our spiritual relationship with God. And yes, Sex is a big part of it.
Oh yeah, Catholics and their sex. Insert as many jokes as you wish here.........okay joke time over. Back to my blog thing.
I had come across this writing by John Paul II from 1960 when he was Archbishop of Krakow called Love & Responsibility accidentally some time ago and wanted to save it for Valentine's Day to post. The exerpt found here is interesting because it combines 2 of my favorite non-food, non-Myles things, theology and smut. Okay for the more serious of you and less adolescent of you, I shouldn't reduce it to theology and smut, so I am sorry. But da-yamn, he tells it like it is. With lines like, " A woman finds it very difficult to forgive a man if she derives no satisfaction from intercourse. " Amen, amen I tell you.
