Through the sexual act, you are in fact lying to the other participant if you are not:as long as it harms noone i have no interest in what people do in private
Which explains why you argue that it’s perfectly fine to encourage Catholic kids to adopt a false and sacrilegious understanding of marriage.As for me, I see nothing wrong with same-sex couples…and applaud their commitment to each other by getting married.
Im sorry i cant see any harm in having sex if you both agree that its not a permanent relationship. How can you lie to some one if you are both open and honest?? And hardly any one has sex just to get pregnant. They all do it because it feels good. Being open to reproduction is only if you think that sex is only for reproduction. Its a religious requirement. In any case if its two women or two men they obviously cant be open to reproduction. And people havent been saying that you need to be in a permanent relationship. They say you must be married and those two things are not the same. I know some unmarried people who have been together longer than married ones.Sorry, just trying to lay some groundwork to see how receptive you might be. Two questions are two too many.
If we can agree that lying is bad when trying to deceive and that the body can communicate through its actions, this is my argument to this claim:

(1) in a permanent/binding relationship
(2) open to reproduction
In the sexual act you are communicating to the other that you are giving yourself completely to them and will accept any natural consequences that may come from it. If you thwart either the unitive or procreative aspects of sex you are in effect lying to the other with your body. This is harmful and bad.
And if they don’t accept your reasons?You have to tell children what is good for them and what is bad for them. You can tell children that some thing is wrong and then give them reasons. Remember we did this before? Isnt that ok with you?
Then your reasons may be wrong. But If your reasons are right then theyre going to end up learning the hard way.Barnesy:

When Catholic kids read “Romeo and Juliet”, is that encouraging them to accept suicide?to encourage Catholic kids to adopt a false and sacrilegious understanding of marriage.
If they don’t believe in that then it is not going to influence their actions.Doesn’t matter if they are religious or not, they still have a soul that is harmed and they still have to stand judgement.
Disbelief is not a get out of jail free card.
Which is why it is important to instruct children on the truth.If they don’t believe in that then it is not going to influence their actions.
It doesn’t have to ‘work’ It just has to be said…It’s not working.
Good for that parish… Who needs peddlers of trash…Yes. I know of a parish school that had a “tradition” of sorts of attending a big Shakespeare festival. They stopped when it became apparent that the programming was increasingly pushing the gay/trans agenda. The kids and parents got over it.
They’ll never hear of Jesus - Messiah of AllAnd what do you suppose is the effect of not telling children what to believe?
Yes it does.It doesn’t have to ‘work’
It doesn’t always stick, but I don’t disagree.Which is why it is important to instruct children on the truth.
How about this view on ‘has to work’ … vs ''never had to work"Yes it does.
Yes. You Teach them that Murder, Lying, Stealing, Abortion, Active Homosexuality, Etc . Are SinsYou can hide that fact from children or you can help them understand what it means.
