"Here at last--unexpectedly from the pen of a German theologian--comes the definitive study of the oppression of women in Western society. The tale Uta Ranke-Heinemann has to tell--fascinating and horrifying by turns--begins with ancient, pre-Christian taboos and the relatively healthy attitudes of the ancient Jews toward sexual matters. Dr. Ranke-Heinemann confronts us with the incontrovertible evidence that the early Christians chose, not the Jewish perspective, but the pessimistic pagan models of sexual conduct. In this vivid, richly documented report, Dr. Ranke-Heinemann proves that for most of its twenty centuries the Catholic Church (as the principal voice and institutional focus of worldwide Christendom) has been cruelly manipulating and mutilating the sexuality of believers. From the Apostle Paul to Pope John Paul II, the church has denigrated sex, degraded women, and championed a perverse ideal of celibacy. It has glorified Mary's virginity, implying that all normal conception and childbearing are somehow polluted. It has denied the undeniable fact that Jesus had brothers and sisters (Mark 6:3, Matthew 13:55). It has damned birth control, while blessing "rhythm." It has campaigned fiercely against masturbation, which is never mentioned, much less forbidden, in the Bible. With a sort of crazy consistency, it has even banned the use of condoms by AIDS patients. As a loyal, but doggedly critical Catholic, Ranke-Heinemann demands that the Church acknowledge the enormous casualties of its age-old war against genital pleasure. Her incisive account of that war challenges both Christian and non-Christian readers to re-examine the fateful role of religion in shaping the sexual behavior of the Western World." -- Provided by publisher… (més)

In the session held on July 14, 1981, the District Court of Hamburg, Section 144, convicted Henning V., the editor-in-chief of a satirical magazine, of insulting religious creeds and affronting church institutions.

Catholic celibacy has pagan roots. The prescriptions of celibate purity derive from the Stone Age of religious consciousness. In the Gospel of God's love they make no sense.
The Pope, of course, has completely misunderstood the passage from Sirach 9:5 that he quotes.
A heading for 1 Corinthians 11 entitled "On the Veiling of Women" was added on later to many Bible translations, but this too is false.
It is no accident that in its struggle against sin, sometimes only the putative sins from the sexual realm, the Catholic Church to this day displays more commitment than it does against the crimes against human life in war, mass murder, and the death penalty.
This is an old male theory, now given the blessing of St. Albert: The more a woman resists, the more she wants it. Albert the Great should be given the title "Patron of Rapists".
