The Point of Sex

Professor John Corvino discusses the views of the 13th Century philosopher St. Thomas Aquinas and some of his intellectual heirs today—self-styled “new natural lawyers” like Robert George of Princeton—who provide the intellectual basis for much of contemporary social conservative thought.

What’s the point of sex?  Is it really just procreation?

Wait wait wait.

Thomas Aquinas said that masturbation is WORSE than rape?

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

THAT IS THE POINT AT WHICH EVERYONE EVER SHOULD HAVE STOPPED LISTENING TO HIM AND POSSIBLY SET HIM ON FIRE.

The Vatican last year said in its doctrinal assessment that the nuns’ group was tinged with feminist influences, focused too much on ending social and economic injustice and not enough on stopping abortion, and permitted speakers at its meetings who questioned church doctrine.

The New York Times

okay but can we talk about how the church says american nuns are focusing too much on ending injustice

(via kvothetheraving)

I like how the Vatican doesn’t even think abortion counts as social injustice.

An anti-choice graphic.

You’d think they’d realise that the last block of statistics there means they’re just terrifying women* into silence, not actually stopping abortion.
But no, they just go for more fear-mongering. As if they’re not the ones forcing desperate women to find ways to cover up their perceived “sins”. How many teens have gotten abortions because their “born-again” parents would kick them out if they found out their daughter had sex?
I really think these attitudes cause people to want abortions, and cause people in these communities who have had abortions to feel a guilt that they wouldn’t otherwise have felt.
