How strange all this sounds in today's secular world. We have all but lost the meaning of love. We have relationships, special friends, an almost sanitized command of sexual behavior, but we seem to fear love. When love is reduced to lust, it becomes empty and contradicts its very self. Recognizing that the Church's teaching on sexuality is often dismissed as impractical, Brigid continues her presentation by illustrating these concepts with concrete examples.
Chastity is both freedom from harm and freedom to live the truth in love.
The preponderance of social science data indicates that the attempts to promote or educate in the use of condoms or contraceptives as a preventive measure have failed. Ultimately, the family both as an entity and as individual persons suffer from such practices. Involving students in a dice game to illustrate the risks of not practicing chastity, Brigid gets her points across. It is well known that the typical rate of pregnancy prevention for condoms for all U.S. women is 84 percent. Disease-carrying parasites, viruses, and bacteria are all considerably smaller than sperm cells.
