The fact is that this confused noise of battle is drowning out the true and profound anthropological and biblical reasons in support of the Christian vision of sexuality. To the point that those who try to explain these reasons with competence and composure seem to be saying something unheard of, extraordinary, finally new and revelatory, whether one agree with it or not.<\/p>\n
This is a bit of the feeling one gets in reading the \u201cPastoral Letter on Human Sexuality\u201d that the bishops of Scandinavia circulated among their faithful today, on this fifth Sunday of Lent.<\/p>\n
The letter starts from the biblical rainbow after the flood, but disagrees with the symbology that \u201cgender\u201d ideology draws from it. The sexually distinguished body, it says, even the resurrected body, is such a strong sign of human identity that it cannot be reduced to a variable subjective construction. If there is a need to take a path marked by contradictions and wounds, including a temporary \u201cexile\u201d from the sacraments, this is what should be done, the important thing being to know the destination. The Church\u2019s mission is to mark this out it and provide companionship on the journey to reach it. Even a purely secular discourse on sexuality can and must be enriched, to the benefit of all.<\/p>\n
This unusual pastoral letter was signed by the bishops of Scandinavia, that is, of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Finland, including a cardinal. They are at the head of Catholic communities scanty in their numbers. But the high quality of their contributions has been an element of surprise, for example at the recent meeting in Prague that brought together delegations of all the episcopates of Europe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
