POPULATION GROWTH, SEXUAL MORALITY AND TEMPERANCE

POPULATION GROWTH, SEXUAL MORALITY AND TEMPERANCE?


By Eric V. Encina



Let us come to think of it for a moment. If only the 6th Commandment (versus fornication) and the 9th Commandment (versus adultery) were being more faithfully observed, kept, then there would be less population problem, if there is really population growth!


In truth, the Catholic Church has naturally and morally contributed to natural birth control in the past and in the present through the unchanging teaching and doctrines of the 6th and 9th Commandments and through the adoption of the sexual temperance and morality as necessary or integral practice of religious observance in the preparation or celebration and thanksgiving of religious feasts.

In the past, the faithful were somewhat rigorous in the practice of faith, they took observance of sexual temperance by way of spiritual mortification, purification and preparation for religious feasts, and of course, by the right of marriage and the procreation of human life, they continued the week or months afterwards by way of thanksgiving. And I think this teaching must be also considered to be renewed in the minds of teh Catholic or Christian peoples and faithful in order to adopt the so-called THEOLOGY OF THE BODY of Pope John Paul II which is intended to be for the sanctification of human sexuality for the divine goal of procreation through human love in the sacrament of marriage.

In the past or ancient times of the Catholic faith, the reception of the Holy Communion was accordingly, by the faithful, was usually limited to only once a week or once a month, but the faithful during those times practiced the norm of sexual temperance one week or before religious feasts. The seasons of Advent and of Lent, are not only an abstinence from the table meat, but also from the flesh.

They days of sexual temperance before the week of religious feasts are integrants of our spiritual observance since we have the body and soul. And it was quite impressive so to speak that those faithful in the past who practiced religious life and thus sexual temperance in the fact more often than not had good lives. BUT, WITH THE PRESENT SEXUAL PERMISSIVENESS AND GLORIFICATION OF SEXUAL LOVE IN SOCIETY, IN THE WORLD AND IN THE LIVES OF MEN AND WOMEN BACKED UP AND SUPPORTED BY ARTIFICIAL POPULATION CONTROL IMPERIALISTIC PROGRAMMES AND THE CULTURE OF DEATH OF ABORTION INDUSTRY, sexual sins are rampant, and thus sexual discipline and temperance have lost much ground in the lives of human, in fact many men and women are ruining their lives heading for hell, destroying marriages and murdering the innocent unborn children -- swimming in the sea of sins and fires of hell.

Population growth or explotion if there is any or if this is really existing however to other logical explations, is not something mechanical that necesarilly has to take place in the evolution of the world. If ever there is population explotion in some other places in the world which, I doubt, this is the result of worldwide COPULATION EXPLOSION of sexual immoralities, sins and loss of sexual temperance. We human becoming worse than animals. The sexual immorality and the loss of sexual temperance is the hidden culprit of the problem of contraception and abortion. THE INTEMPERATE MENTALITY THAT IS PROMOTED AND NURTURED BY THE MASS MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS AND THE ADVERTISEMENTS OF ALLUREMENTS, FOCUSING ON THE SEXUAL GRATIFICATIONS AND SELF-AMUSEMENTS OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE ARE TERRIBLE RATHER THAN ON THE NATURAL OBJECTIVE OF SEX WHICH IS REPRDUCTION AND PROCREATION OF HUMAN BEINGS--WHICH IS ALSO A HUMAN AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY through human love in the virtue and sacrament of marriage.

The problem is: the secularistic response or the modern method to the perceived and exaggerated problems of population growth or explosion which is not in fact existing, the permissiveness of sexual intemperance and sexual immoralities, is a showcase of a great irresponsibility, totally OPPOSED TO RESPONSIBLE PARENTHOOD of Humanae Vitae and the teachings of the Catholic Church, and through the promotion of artificial contraception, the liberalization and legalization of abortion, same-sex marriage and divorce.

In pro-life mission, we also advocate the Catholic/Christian practice of faith and morals in our lives and in the families, of sexual morality, sexual temperance, modesty and purity of lives.

Sexual morality for the married and for the unmarried and temperance in sex within marriage are the simple, effective and honest remedy for birth control, not THE SAVAGE CRUELTY OF ABORTION---the merciless and the hecatomb of slaughtering the innocent unborn children through the legalised or back-alley abortion imposed by the state or by in demand.

If we should tell Christ: "LORD, WE HAVE TO LIBERALIZE AND LEGALIZE ABORTION IN ORDER TO CURB THE POPULATION GROWTH", He will answer us:

'YOU HYPOCRITES, THAT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE USING SEX ONLY FOR IMMORAL PURPOSES AND ALL INTEMPERANCE ONLY FOR DELECTATION AND NOT FOR THE PURPOSE OF GOD MADE AND GRANTED IT!"
