Is Santorum *trying* to lose?

I’m still trying to figure out why, for a guy who is so anti-contraception, he doesn’t have 15 children. No sex? No wonder he’s so angry.

Not necessarily . . . consider what is associated with his name . . .

With long, sharp, pointy teeth.

I gotcher privy members, rightcheer.

I’m not likly to vote for Santorum but for the simple reason I believe he is like most of the Republicans already there, They help create this fix we’re in as in taking one for the team, and besides if he had been serious him and Newte would have been registered in all the states.

I’m pretty sure that’s a no-no for Catholics too.

Catholic doctrine on sex in a nutshell: If it’s fun it’s bad. The only exception are those acts that make more Catholics.

Hm. And the SCOTUS now has a Catholic majority . . . :eek:

Maybe not quite fifteen, but the Santorums have had eight children in the twenty-two years they’ve been married. I’m thinking they’re not faking their opposition to contraception.

Pretty bad when the Jews are telling you to lighten up.

Just to be pedantic, the Catholic Church actually doesn’t have any objection to anal sex (or oral sex, or any of a wide variety of other practices) between a married couple, per se, just so long as it’s in addition to potentially-procreative sex, not instead of it.

Cite? Um, not that I don’t believe you, I just think it would be funny to read the Pope’s pronouncement that buttsex is okay under certain conditions.

Nope. Check Sections 2 & 3.

What? No sex with more than two people?

But what could be more procreative than a guy having sex with two women? That way there could end up being two conceptions.

I think a papal endorsement of MFF threesomes could really help bring people back into the faith.

Actually, I remember reading on the Catholic org website that there’s a theological controversy over whether a husband can manually stimulate his wife to orgasm after unilaterally satisfying procreative sex. If non-procreative sex within a marriage was fine, then there would be no controversy over condoms or masturbation.

The theological justification for this, as far as I know, comes from the parable of the sower and Onanism.

You know, in all honesty, I hope the Catholic Church sticks to its “natural law” position until obsolescence. At least it doesn’t make the convenient special pleading case of the Baptists where anal sex with (nonlatex) condoms and lube is fine as long as its between a man and a woman - you know, as God intended.

Edit:

It’d contradict the admonishments for adulterers, since God made one man and one woman as one flesh. Though there is a disconnect between the Social Darwinist’s highest principle of promulgation of the individual gene and the fact that they rarely donate sperm or rape women.

Huh, what I said was what they taught us in my Catholic high school. I’m not sure which of the two sources is correct, and I don’t feel inclined to go sifting through the Code of Canon Law to find out.

Is it searchable? If so, just type in “anal”.

I am not an expert, and don’t really care what the RNC thinks about anal sex, but I remember from what passed for sex education in my Catholic school that non-tab A-in-slot B-type sex is verboten for Catholics.
