"Women who choose abortion have their morality questioned. Women who choose to put a baby up for adoption have their maternal instincts questioned, and women who carry an unplanned pregnancy to full term when unmarried or financially insecure are often labeled irresponsible." -- Thomas R. Suozzi, Nassau County executive (and Democrat and Catholic)

It's very simple. You're supposed to choose eternal celibacy. Sex is icky, and anything that results from sex is of suspect morality, because it involves pleasure to the material body.

One should simply learn to deny oneself anything that gives pleasure in this life, because God doesn't like you actually enjoying the gifts S/He provides on this Earth. You're supposed to throw them away in hopes that S/He will be proud of your self-denial and give you even better gifts after you die.

That's the theory, anyway.

But, see, that's an allegory about man's love for the church.

Never mind that I have yet to see a man engage in any of that kind of behavior with a church.
