“It’s the strangest thing about this church - it is obsessed with sex, absolutely obsessed. Now they will say we, with our permissive society and rude jokes, are obsessed. No, we have a healthy attitude. We like it, it’s fun, it’s jolly; because it’s a primary impulse it can be dangerous and dark and difficult. It’s a bit like food in that respect, only even more exciting. The only people who are obsessed with food are anorexics and the morbidly obese, and that in erotic terms is the Catholic church in a nutshell.” PeopleFunSexBitsDifficultTermChurchDarkAttitudeDangerousHealthyJokesExcitingCatholicPrimariesImpulseObsessedRudeEroticCatholic ChurchJollyObeseAnorexics Author:Stephen Fry

“For women who do not love us, as for the "disappeared", knowing that we no longer have any hope does not prevent us form continuing to wait.

“Even healthy families need outside sources of moral guidance to keep those tensions from imploding--and this means, among other things, a public philosophy of gender equality and concern for child welfare.
