As a Catholic, I can't accept the fact that one can do whatever one wants.<br /><br />PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-36345818719232112582009-04-03T08:09:00.000-04:002009-04-03T08:09:00.000-04:00I saw this comment on a similar topic.

There was a common belief as to what is right and what is wrong when it came to sexual relations, and even people who broke the rules accepted that they were doing wrong.<BR/><BR/>That attitude does not exist anymore. Laws can be effective teachers and guardians of accepted standards, but they are not effective at imposing behavior that is no longer widely believed in.<BR/><BR/>It is true that adultery is not a victimless crime. Its damage to the partner and the children, in financial, emotional and social terms is immense and as severely damaging to other people as are many other behaviors still deemed to be criminal.<BR/><BR/>But the societal belief that such behavior is inherently bad for society has been severely compromised. In a society where <B>sexuality is valued for its recreational and emotional functions over its procreative and familial functions,</B> the belief that would make adultery a crime is not sufficient where criminalizing it would have any effect. </I>Mr Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-19930022601673029722009-03-31T20:37:00.000-04:002009-03-31T20:37:00.000-04:00Boniface, the title of your post, "The destruction...Boniface, the title of your post, "The destruction of sin" says it all. The selfishness of such an act cannot be measured. The infinite love God has for us all is illustrated by the forgiveness He bestows upon those who have committed terrible sins then seek his forgiveness through reconciliation and true contrition. I think about what Fr.G. says about the tiniest of sin creating a huge chasm and rent in the relationship between God and humanity. We need to pray every day for the sins of all. I will say a special prayer that you and your family may find peace and healing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-89251201686801751002009-03-31T02:15:00.000-04:002009-03-31T02:15:00.000-04:00Sadly, I can empathize and agree that it is very d...Sadly, I can empathize and agree that it is very difficult to name another sin that is comparable to this in the consequences and grievous effect it has on everyone around. I will certainly remember your family in my prayers.rklnoreply@blogger.com
