Sullivan -- Church's Sexual Advisor By Tom Smith This is an interesting reaction to Sullivan's apparent departure from the Church. Camassia makes a point I was hestitant to make myself, about Sullivan's libertinism. If you read enough of his posts, you're bound (no pun intended) to come across some celebration of the gay bar scene in Provincetown. It's a free country, and all that, but if you're going to celebrate the scene that is located sexually and morally in about the same place as it is geographically (on the very far edge of the country, for you geographically challenged folks), I think you're just not in much of a position to be advising the Church on its sexual morality. It comes off like Bill Bennett lecturing us on virtue, so he can raise the cash to settle up with Fat Eddy. Sullivan's personal life is relevant only because he is making such a big deal about his leaving the Church, rather than just criticizing the Church's view on gay relationships per se. Even if the Church did approve of gay marriage, there be no more fun with bears and otters for good gay Catholic boys. |
