The Truth About Sex

My bible study group was discussing last week's Mass readings, specifically the parts that had to do with marriage. Somebody asked: what about sex?

And I'm glad I was paying attention, because I learned something new: Sex is sacramental. No kidding. When a couple exchanges vows before the altar, they form a marriage bond. But that bond isn't made permanent until it is consummated in sexual intercourse.

In other words ... everytime people come together as husband and wife, they are making a sacramental act, communicating sacramental grace to one another. Wow, huh?

This means that sex is holy, which means we shouldn't crack jokes about it. Not because those jokes are "dirty," but because sex is sacred, and making fun of sacred stuff is not cool.

This is why sex outside of marriage is not okay.

This is also why playing "baseball" (1st, 2nd, 3rd base) is not okay.

Because any act that is "sexual" (eg., passionate kissing, or whatever,) holds within its design a marriage vow.

In other words, your body is making a promise. And if you're not married when your body makes that promise, then you are, in fact, a liar.
