The Holy Roman Catholic Church has been confused and mistaken about sex from its founding. As an outcropping of Judaic belief the inequality of the genders was entombed in Catholic (and hence early Christian thinking and tradition). The Catholic Church compounded its errors by mistaking this long tradition for truth on matters such as: gender equality, the meaning of marriage, what it means to be gay, gender identification, contraception, abortion, when a human life begins, normalcy, abnormalcy, bisexuality, sex outside of procreation, the understanding of family, free will, life/death issues, capital punishment, morality versus legality, suicide, and a host of other issues.
If we accept the premise that mankind was born with (or even given) free will -- to choose whatever path he/she may to achieve their own full growth -- whence comes the concept of sin? What are we sinning against? Nature? The "Law of God"? And why does God make a "Law" that does not allow the full use of our "Free" will? Is "Free Will" really free if it is restricted by a morality borne only of God and not from man's mind and nature?
Did God create creatures to oppose himself? Is God really in control? Is God really omnipotent? Whence comes evil; whence comes choice; whence comes happiness? And despair?
