Seriously, you are cracking me up. I’m an adult. Talking about sex doesn’t in the least bother me. But I can tell it sure bothers you.

So all Catholics talk about the specifics of their sex lives with all their friends like you do?

I don’t remember that part of being Catholic.

Is it a requirement? Is that in scripture or just “tradition”?

“Our people” for the Israelites were all the Israelites, young and old, married and not married.

“Our people” for mormons does not even include all your baptized members.

And what did the Catechumens in 457 AD know about the full mass?

bukowski, I think it interesting the mormons compare a ritual to sex. I’m sitting here wondering if y’all have a sex ritual or something.

I don’t know what other Catholic do bukowski. My girlfriends and I are friends, and find no problem talking about our lives. Even sex. I never said it was a requirement. I’m sure their are bashful Catholics who never talk about sex. The key thing here is bukowski, sex and ritual aren’t really intertwined in my thoughts. I find it interesting that is in yours and Diana’s.

Sex is not a ritual for Catholics. For me it is very natural and to think it is something akin to a temple ritual is really something. I’m rather curious.
 
Also, you guys seem a bit “obsessed” about male/female relations. (I’ve read posts about Adam/Eve too)
What’s up with that?

Was I right, or what?

I think you guys have crossed the line. No class.

But I thought you were the expert on all things Mormon?
 
mfbukowski said:
But of course talking about sex rituals is perfectly pro-Mormon, right?

Unbelievable.

I didn’t make the comparison bukowski, you mormons did.

Like I said, let’s see what happens if I make the same comparison…predictable.

“We’re so persecuted!!!” :crying::crying::crying:

I can send you a pm if you like…and really, you’re comparing the mormon temple to sex. I think I’ll use that some time, see what happens.

I think I am coming to understand your attitude a little bit, Rebecca.
RebeccaJ said:
Diana, guess what, I don’t consider sex as sacred. Certainly it is private, but I’ve never been bashful about talking about sex. Just, I’m sure the mods here would ban me. My girlfriends and I discuss “stuff” amongst ourselves…give each other intimate “stuff” for use later. 😉

Yep, and that’s what I mean. “Sex” isn’t sacred–at least, the mechanics of it in general are not. However, what goes on between a husband and wife IS, or should be. Discussing sex as an abstract concept is one thing, but the fact that you would discuss the specific sex you have with your husband is quite another, and that’s why I was specific enough to make it about sex between you and your husband. I guess if you don’t think that something that private, that important, and that is supposed to be exclusive to you two is not important enough to keep private and ‘sacred,’ then I can certainly understand why you think nothing else, especially the Temple, is.

…and I can think of nothing else that would possibly be a personal enough analogy to make work. I do honestly think that most people would get the analogy, though.

…and I was not comparing the Temple to sex. I was comparing what happens in the Temple and how we feel about it to the way most married couples feel about the sex they share with one another. It’s not about demeaning the Temple to the level of sex as you think of it, as 'it’s just sex," either, m’dear. It’s about putting marital sex where it belongs: in the specific and “speshul” place it should hold in martial relationships. Sex is NEVER 'just sex."

Or rather, it shouldn’t be. I’m sad that you think it is.

Still, very weird way to think.

Perhaps there are Catholics who think this way. It wouldn’t be the first time that I’m wondering what the hell people are thinking, while they’re thinking the same about me.

No, you aren’t, not really. I believe that I explained the problem in the post preceding this one. I’m not going to attempt to explain this thing about ‘sacred’ and ‘secret’ to you any more, because obviously to you NOTHING is sacred.
 
RebeccaJ said:
Everything before they are baptized.

What does a mormon know about the full ritual of the temple before entering?

They know what.

they know why.

If they don’t know the script, they know everything else. which of course means they know the important stuff.

Oh now, that is just not so. And only shows how freaking weird your thought process is to me.

When I am kneeling in a our Blessed Sacrament Chapel, the most sacred place I can think to be, I’m not thinking this is just like sex. Sorry.

Of course we emphasize relationships. Our faith emphasizes families more than any other faith I know of on the planet. Certainly it does so more than any other Christian group I know of. We are, as far as I am aware, the only group that actually comes right out and says that 'Families are forever." We marry for time 'and all eternity."

I’m a widow…but when I die, I fully expect my husband to be waiting for me, and he is still MY HUSBAND. His death did not mean a divorce, the way it does for Catholics and every other Christian out there who 'marry until death do you part." Death did not part us, except temporarily and physically.

Since families are based on male/female relationships, and since we believe that family unity is absolutely vital to our futures mortal and eternal, how ELSE should we deal with things?

You really don’t know much about us at all, do you?

Really? WE aren’t the ones who think that sex is ‘just sex’ and that marital relationships are fair game for girlfriend chat sessions. That actually surprised the heck out of me. I rather thought that Catholics and Mormons had more in common in this area than that; that sex is a vital and important…and private and sacred…part of marital life. That’s why I used it as an example, because I honestly thought that y’all thought as highly of this aspect of marriage as we do.

It is, therefore, not US who are 'crossing the line." I guess I have to apologize for trying this analogy. I had no idea I was going to be walking into an edition of “Playboy.” I was, in fact, attempting, by pointing out how special this part of marriage is, to get Rebecca to understand that some things simply belong to those for whom they are for, and are nobody else’s business. I was wrong.
