यौन निराशा और शरीर के सुखों के प्रति नफरत यह हमें प्राचीन दुनिया से विरासत में मिला है, जिसे ईसाई धर्म ने आज तक एक खास रूप में संजोकर रखा है।
Sexual pessimism and hostility toward the pleasures of the flesh are a legacy from the ancient world which Christianity has preserved in a special measure to this day.

यीशु महिलाओं के मित्र थे, और चर्च के इतिहास में महिलाओं के पहले और लगभग आखिरी सच्चे मित्र वही थे।
Jesus was a friend of women, the first and practically the last friend women had in the church.

जब लोग एक ऐसे चर्च का सामना करते हैं जो अब ईश्वर की दया और इंसानों से उसके गहरे रिश्ते को ज़ाहिर नहीं करता—एक ऐसा चर्च जिसने ईसा मसीह को बेदर्दी से बेनूर करके बेडरूम और पति-पत्नी के निजी रिश्तों पर पहरा बिठाने वाला एक पुलिसकर्मी बना दिया है—तो पुरुष और स्त्रियाँ खुद को ईश्वर का प्यारा समझने के बजाय खुद को सिर्फ पापी और घृणित महसूस करने लगते हैं।
Confronted by a Church that has ceased to manifest God's mercy and intimate connection with humankind - that has converted Christ into a grim and joyless adjunct to the policing of bedrooms and marital intercourse - men and women can no longer see themselves as beloved of God, only as impure and reprehensible.

यौन संबंध मानव जीवन का एक ऐसा हिस्सा है जो धार्मिक विज्ञान की एक बेहद अजीब शाखा, जिसे 'नैतिक धर्मशास्त्र' (मॉरल थियोलॉजी) कहा जाता है, उसकी गिरफ्त में आ गया है। इसके बाइबिल आधारित प्रमाण बहुत कमज़ोर हैं क्योंकि नए नियम (New Testament) में इस तरह की कोई बात है ही नहीं, इसलिए इसे अपनी इस महत्वाकांक्षा को पूरा करने के लिए खुद ही बहुत पापड़ बेलने पड़े हैं।
Sex is an aspect of human existence that has fallen prey in special measure to a very special form of theological science: the theological outgrowth or offshoot known as moral theology. Its biblical foundations are meager in the sense that nothing of the kind exists in the New Testament, so it has had to achieve its ambition largely by dint of its own efforts.
