Nun’s book on masturbation slammed by Vatican

The Vatican is against masturbation and homosexuality; how amusing is that? Amusing because priests masturbate all the time, the only difference is they like to do it in the presence of children. Then there’s homosexuality. Now this one is interesting. Here you have an entire organization whose membership is probably in the neighborhood of 40% homosexual (if not more) criticizing homosexuality. Catholic clergy certainly make up a much higher percentage of homosexuals than the 10% average of the general population. Yet this clan collectively has the gall to speak out against homosexuality! Does this not epitomize hypocrisy? The truth is that everything about this corrupt church is a hypocrisy. They preach a lot but never practice what they preach. TGO

The Vatican slammed a “sexual morality” book written by an American Catholic nun on Monday, warning believers to stay away from the tome which justifies masturbation, homosexuality and divorce.

Margaret Farley’s 2006 book “Just Love – A Framework for Christian Sexual Ethics” “affirms positions that are in direct contradiction with Catholic teaching in the field of sexual morality,” the Vatican said in a statement.

Farley, a member of the Sisters of Mercy and professor emerita at Yale Divinity School, expressed support for a long list of sins in the eyes of the Church.

“Masturbation usually does not raise any moral questions at all. It is surely the case that many women have found great good in self-pleasuring… (which) actually serves relationships rather than hindering them,” she wrote.

On the issue of homosexuality, the prominent theologian said “same-sex relationships and activities can be justified according to the same sexual ethic as heterosexual relationships and activities” and “should be respected.”

She also said not all marriages could last and supported both divorce for people who are irrevocably unhappy together and remarriage with new partners.

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), which had been carrying out an investigation into the book, responded with a scathing criticism which tackled each of the issues Farley had raised.

It insisted that “masturbation is an intrinsically and gravely disordered action”, homosexual relations are “acts of grave depravity”, and “a marriage cannot be dissolved by any human power or for any reason other than death.”

“The Congregation warns the faithful that the book is not in conformity with the teaching of the Church. Consequently it cannot be used as a valid expression of Catholic teaching,” it said.

Last week the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), the main US association of Catholic nuns, defended itself against CDF accusations of “corporate dissent” over the Church’s teachings, particularly concerning homosexuality.

    What must be “HOT” is being masturbated by a cutie in an exotic nun costume! Personally, the GhostRider has only had the pleasure of the Cheerleader, Librarian, Spy, Elvira, and Gypsy costumes… in reality; in fantasy, I’ve had ’em all!
