[A comment from a priest regarding Jesus’ Teaching About Sexuality and Marriage]

This is stupid. Accordingly, food is for survival, but if eaten for pleasure, it is a sin. So one should eat only rice cakes.

 
Rou say, “This is stupid.”

But what if this teaching is true? And what if your adolescent comparison of sexuality with food and your glib condemnation of truth leads to the condemnation of your soul? Where is stupidity then?

In short, you lack the courage to be afraid—afraid of your own arrogant self-assurance.
