Nun's book on masturbation slammed by Vatican

[android13]

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.

Dapat payagan na ang mga pari na magbate kawawa naman sila. Bawal na tumotnak, bawal pa rin magbate? Ayun, dinadaan nalang sa pagmomolestya ng mga binatilyo.

Kawawa naman ang mga nuns. Yun na nga lang ang konting kasiyahan nila e ipinagbawal pa. Sadista ang gumawa ng patakaran na yan.

I would love to support the phrase, but allow me to grasp your idea and coin a new statement.

Pope, priests, nuns, chimpanzees, men, women, homo sapiens are capable of masturbation. Orgasm is a very "heavenly" feeling. Though some may abstain, and some may come clean, the clergy should be entitled to their own ideas/choices.

What they should not be entitled to is to slam and condemn people: who prefer birth control, masturbation, fetishism, voyeurism, same sex intercourse; and the likes. Because these/we should be entitled to our own ideas/choices too. *Rambles*

I want to start a campaign to allow nuns to masturbate. It will be called the Wankers Coalition. But I am too busy with my hands right now, so I nominate Pieno to lead the Wankers Coalition. Pieno, are you, er, "up" for this?

Wala na, kahit anong pagtatanggol hindi uubra dito.. Kalokohan kasi ang celibacy.. Basic need ang sex, parang pinagbawalan mong kumain yung tao, kaya tuloy kelangang kumilos ng palihim para masatisfy ang needs nila. Needs yung pre! Hindi tayo bato na hindi nakakaramdam ng libog.. Para sa tuod lang yang celibacy.
