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.
