Sa kaniyang pagtalakay sa kung ano ang ultimate end ng marital union, sabi nila procreation daw.<br />Mabuti na lamang at may ibang mga moral theologians na nagsasabing hindi lamang procreation ang dahilan ng sexual union -- katulad nina Richard McCormick at ng mga advocates ng moral system ng Leuven personalism. (Masamang balita nga lamang na hindi sila ang bumubuo sa mayoridad sa loob ng simbahan tungkol sa isyung ito).<br />Ang stress sa kung ano ang natural ay patunay na ang teolohiya ng simbahan mo ay Thomistic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730552767912241346.post-1470281933932603232010-07-05T12:50:33.745+08:002010-07-05T12:50:33.745+08:00@MS : Salamat sa pagdugtong ng ilang pang paghaham...@MS : Salamat sa pagdugtong ng ilang pang paghahambing.<br /><br />Pero ayon sa ilang conservative theologians, all “unnatural” (kagaya ng foreplay o stimulation,- hindi ko na bibigyan ng iba pang example kasi baga may mga minor na bumabasa nito) sex acts daw ay intrinsically evil, even inside marriage at kahit na tunay na nagmamahalan ang mag-asawa. Ang mga ito daw ayon sa ilang mga theologian ay, “always objectively immoral, regardless of intention or circumstances, partial or complete.” Sabay katwiran na masama talaga ang paggamit ng kontraseptibo at pamimilit. Yung mga “unnatural” o kasalanang sexual act, ayon sa mga taong ito ay anumang aktong ‘di nakakabuntis o hindi nauuwi sa pagbubuntis at panganganak! <br /><br />Patawad na lang sa uulitin…Norman A.

You do both orally. <br />May I add that in reading the reader and the book writer are sharing themselves to each other. The reader receives the writer into her consciousness, and let him invade her interior freely and with gusto. The book writer is allowed to penetrate the internal space of the reader, as his ideas are accepted and graciously received. The writer has his ideas to offer -- nothing more, nothing less. <br />In their sharing of each other's essence, their encounter is open to fecundity. The reader may get impregnated by the author's idea(s), and may eventually give birth to a new being shaped by the author's semen of ideas (i mean, seminal ideas). (Thus, will you wear condom when you make love... with your book?)<br />The act of reading is utterly pleasurable. The reader enjoys reading. The writer is happy knowing that his piece is liked... and read. This pleasure is not comparable to what money may give. In the first place, love making is had because of love; otherwise, it is purely an animal act -- a sexual intercourse.<br />It may also be noted here that reading and lovemaking are also similar in the sense that both are actually needing some assistance when the "readers" and "writers" get old. A pair of eyeglasses for the reader... and Viagra for the love makers... (MS)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
