It's talking about Heaven, which should be clear given Journet's use of scripture to support what he's saying and frame the proper context. Read it again, and think of eternity, not earth. <br /><br />Secondly, theologically, celibacy AND virginity are used in relation to both men and women. <br /><br />When I have time I'm going to quote the next section of the book. Maybe tonight when I get home from class, or maybe tomorrow evening. <br /><br />That addressed marriage more.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-13973744004563975682009-05-15T16:08:00.000-05:002009-05-15T16:08:00.000-05:00The one portion of this posting that makes me winc...The one portion of this posting that makes me wince slightly is the quote: "When the number of the elect is complete, the law of reproduction will cease..." It is just that I can imagine it getting into the wrong (Malthusian) hands at a time when the value of married life and raising children needs to be affirmed.<br /><br />It is said that near the end of his life, it was a source of consolation for St. Dominic to be able to confide that he was a virgin. In our times, "celibacy" is used to refer to a possible male life style, but "virginity" is almost never used to refer to men.<br /><br />St. Catherine of Siena frequently wrote to churchmen and urged them to be "manly men." I think we can be certain that she meant that they ought to be more like Dominic Guzman, not less so.<br /><br />Have we reached the worst of possible worlds? "Don't be chaste, and don't have children." Prayer remains as our potent weapon and effective remedy.Mike Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02805680754872799992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-4547079425548818222009-05-15T12:37:00.000-05:002009-05-15T12:37:00.000-05:00If anything, this post risks more unpopularity tha...If anything, this post risks more unpopularity than the one above.
