belief.net: Theology of the Body
posted by Matt on 02:06 PM August 31st, 2004
Men & Religion The Pope's biographer discusses The Theology of the Body, supposedly promising to revolutionaize the Cath. church's POV on sexuality and the body. Well, we'll see.

But condemning male sexuality is still very much on the agenda. On page 4 of this epistle, one reads:

What response have you been getting specifically from women?
I do seminars specifically for women and I begin these seminars with an apology for the lusts of men and for the way that male lust has wounded the female heart.

Just great.

I suppose it would be too much to hope that they then follow that up with an apology to men for the way women lose their sexual desire after the wedding ring goes on.

She just lost the desire for you. She already has someone to pay for the kids. After marriage its time to find the best sperm donors.

It's sad that many Christians don't realize that they've swallowed "evil male" lies that degrade men and delude women. For a gross example of the Catholic bishops recycling the standard, conventional misandry about domestic violence, see http://www.usccb.org/laity/help.htm

This article explains
this beautiful biblical vision of woman’s greatness and her dignity and her place in God’s plan of salvation.

Substitute for "woman's" and "her", "a male's" and "his", and you would be preaching the missing part of the Gospel. Let those who have lips, speak!

this beautiful biblical vision of woman’s greatness and her dignity and her place in God’s plan of salvation

The accepted Christian view (before the Church became feminized) was that because sin entered the world through a woman, it was fitting that the Savior should also enter the world through a woman. But this was not due to any "biblical vision of woman's greatness", as can be shown through a few Scriptural quotes: e.g.

"Neither was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man"

"Man is a reflection of God's glory, while woman is a reflection of man's glory"

"The head of the woman is the man, and the head of the man is Christ".

"Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord".

And on and on. Today many "Christian" women proudly refuse to submit themselves to male headship and then cry foul when this pride blows up in their face. Thus we have a complete shift from the old teaching about original sin into a new idea of male "original sin" and female "redemption". This absolutely is heresy from a Christian point of view.

From what I understand of Christianity, neither original sin nor redemption are figured exclusively as male or female. Adam and Eve are of the same bone and flesh, strength and weakness. Mary and Jesus had a one-flesh union of a different sort.

As a male, I have no problem singing with Mary, "My soul proclaims the greatest of the Lord..." Except that most of the time I doubt my soul does, but I think that hers did.

No wonder why the islam is on the rise, by the way, alimony, child support, marital assets, lack of reproduction rights are "funny" litle things that occurs only in societies with judeo-christian values.

Weatern men are just slaves without reproductive rights, cannon fodder, prision fodder, slave labor, and sperm provider, AMEN!!! Aleluya!!

The notion of male lust as something imposed on women by men is ridiculous. Women want men to lust after them, not so they can have sex, but so that they get things from men. Even feminists such as Helen Fisher advance this idea. Being sexually available month round when only a few days are they fertile is intended to attract and keep a man.

This is why I'm celebit.(SP?) Sex is nothing more than a tool for a woman to control you. Take away that control and things get, ...well... INTERESTING.

Without sexual instincts, or more controled ones, no man would sign the criminal contract called MARRIAGE, a contract in wich a man becomes a slave and a woman a parasite that can profit from his labor in return of NOTHING.

Nowadays Christianity is just a religion that teach men to accept slavery as their destiny.
