I have read Fr Martin's book Building A Bridge: Q 1: why need for gay community?

Why would one listen to someone who is spreading errors and dangerous teachings?
 
I don’t know how to show I am responding to both you posts, but regarding the first one, I offered the Church’s understanding of the matter as well as I could. You have not asked for any clarification, so I gather you understand what I wrote.

WRT your second post… I don’t think I can say it as well as the Holy Father did in Humanae Vitae. Trying reading that and asking questions about any parts you have difficulty with.
 
Does it not talk about the destructive effects of accepting artificial birth control? All that he predicted has come to pass in societies that accepted ABC.

Now think of this: God, Creator of the universe sent His Son to die for us. Think about that.

What does that mean about us? Does that show the love that God and Christ have for us?

And sex is for creating new ones of us, new beings for the Trinity to love. Sex is for putting ourselves on the line each and every time we engage in it in creating a new person, risking our selves, lifestyles to love another person and teach him or her to love God.

And we have denigrated this act to a recreation, a scientific study for the benefits of, good form of stress reduction…
 
Birth control is great stuff. It also protects against STIs in many cases.
 
Oh, and how is admiring the pair bonding and stress relief denegating? It’s seeing many great aspects of an act that many people enjoy. I’ll never quite get sexual people’s huge focus on this, but hey; it seems nice for people to enjoy.
 
And if people were chaste, they wouldn’t have to worry about STIs, right?
 
You noticed I said “in many cases” for that very reason 😊 the pill has it’s own benefits and can greatly help those women who suffer from irregular or excessively painful periods.
 
Pair bonding is manure? Mutual joy is manure? Far out, you make life seem quite crummy!

Heh, as I said; I will never really understand why folks even want sex. But they do and contraception helps make it safer. It’s also handy for those who would be at risk if they became pregnant. My mother almost died twice due to pregnancy, it’s a shock I survived and she wouldn’t survive another pregnancy; contraception is splendid.
 
The distance between what sex is used for and what it ought to be is enormously greater than the difference between a Rolls and manure, but my point is not that sex is like manure, but that sex is like the Rolls Royce. Using sex for pleasure, etc., is like putting manure in a Rolls–it is a denigrating, demeaning misuse of what is supposed to be a splendid thing.
 
Pleasure is manure in your eyes. As is pair bonding. Doing an enjoyable thing with a person you like. That’s a pretty dim world.
 
Oh my goodness, I guess the Common Core curriculum is just as bad as they say it is.

Do you seriously not understand analogies, or do you not know that twisting people’s words is poor argumentation?

You make some large assumptions. I’m Australian and a teacher.

You compare pleasure to manure. I pointed it out.
 
No, I compared having sexsolely for pleasure to using a Rolls to transport manure.
