Canadian Catholic Bishops: Don't Misuse Sex in Marriage

In yet another display of the Catholic Church hierarcy's obsession with all matters sexual and a firm desire that sex not be enjoyaable - unless, apparently one is a priest raping an altar boy - the Canadian bishops have released a directive on sex in marriage which would have couples be "chaste" and only engage in sex for procreative purposes. As if the bitter old queens in dresses would know a damn thing about marriage or heterosecual sex from personal experience in the first place. Sadly, the Church remains stuck in a 13th century time warp and continues to cling to an idiotic "natural law" doctrine. The National Post has coverage of the bishops' ridiculous foray into interferring with married couples' sex lives and exerpts from the so called pastoral letter. Again I ask, why does anyone listen to these jerks? Here are story highlights:
*
Canadian Catholic bishops are cautioning married couples to not get too focused on sexual acts other than intercourse, calling them a potential misuse of sex that ignore God’s intentions.
*
A pastoral letter released this week by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops calls on married couples to lead “chaste” lives — not meaning “celibate” but approaching sex with “purity of mind as well as body” and respecting the dignity of the other person.
*
“That is why the sexual act has to be unitive and procreative and why some kinds of activity are not chaste,” the letter said. “Though pleasure may be present, some acts are a misuse of sex when they fall short of what God intended.”

Hille Haker, a professor of moral theology at Loyola University in Chicago, said she is worried that the advice to married couples is a reflection of more conservative sexual attitudes that pre-date the reforms of Vatican II.
