For centuries the catholic Church (I speak as a catholic) has hidden the fact that Jesus had german brothers and sisters, despite the evidence of the greek New Testament and the quiet acknowledgment of the first centuries (christian and not catholic people).

But the Manichean sex phobia prevailed, changing the reality of Mary of Nazareth, who was married to a desired and prolific male. The one, who was the virginal mother of Christ, has become the always Virgin. Desexualized, exalted as an angel, model for nuns, near a husband, model for priests violently unmarried.

In short: the endless virginity of Mary was invented by the celibatarian and puritan nature of the Roman Church, in the person of Agostino Aurelio di Tagaste.

To the sex phobia of yesterday and today , Wojtyla adds the today’s techno phobia (again in the sex field) : love and test tube, even sex and technique are radically antagonist, dening the modern theory of a “technique” which can protract and strengthen the nature, simulating its “techniques”.

Last observation: if Christ, who gives His phisical, therefore sexual, Body during Holy Communion (according to our catholic faith), returned to live between us, he would be a sperm donor, shocking any conformist.

Priest Dr. Franco Ratti
