Today I'm writing about sex, so those of you who would rather not read about that subject may want to put down the paper for a while and go make some toast. If you get caught in an adulterous affair, some churches will force you to stand before the congregation and confess your sin.
Single people are often suspect in the church because everyone thinks they are sexually active.
One man even told me about an old minister preaching at his uncle's funeral against the use of condoms. A former Servite monk for 12 years, Moore extricated himself from the monastery and, for 17 years, was a therapist hearing people's sexual woes and fantasies. When you compare the spirit of the gospels with the institutional church, it just doesn't match up. That shows anxiety. And the gospels are not anxious documents.
