Church and Sex
A crazy week in Philippines. Church and sex have been making headlines. The church is denying “pro-reproductive health lawmakers” Holy Communion. The politicians called it “blackmail”.
The Church has been refusing the idea to promote artificial contraception, it stood by its centuries’ old “natural methods”. They also fight over bills to make sex education mandatory in schools.
The purpose of the government in working on these bills are to curtail the booming population, especially among the young and poor. It is typical sight to see young mothers under 25 with three toddlers hanging around the arms and neck - they are some sort of fashion accessories in the urban area. The whole point is to give the population enough information so they can make informed decision on whether to pursue natural birth planning, or artificial ones. The Church sees this prevention act in the same level as abortion. I think it prevent abortion in some cases.
As The Church is the holiest institution in the world, they claimed that they are aware of the situation. People can live with leavened bread and watery wine once a week, can’t they?
But the sex will be church-approved activity. So I guess all ends well.
