Another Cardinal complains about sex in the media

Religious Meddlers, Do-gooders

Another professional virgin complains about pleasures he'll never know.

Children's health and happiness are under threat from society's obsession with sex, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, warned yesterday. ...

It was instead depicted as "something which has no real significance". Love was hardly ever mentioned and the notion of commitment was measured in "attachments of weeks, not lifetimes", he argued.

"Sex divorced from love, from commitment, from fidelity, and from the desire to have children is a trivialisation of something profound and extraordinarily important," he told students at the University of Wales.

Cardinal criticises 'obsession with sex'

In Wednesday night's speech, the cardinal went on to speak out against a growing sense that there was a right to a "risk-free" existence.

wow, again with the church bashing! Dont you think he has a point though? Sex is good sex is great....however there should be some restraint on sex in the media because sometimes it is extremely easy for underage people to see the wrong things, for example, picking up my daughter from primary school i saw a couple of young boys reading what was obviously a men's mag..im just worried about the effects on their minds

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Another Cardinal complains about sex in the media. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
