Ratzinger's Faith: Part III

Ratzinger's Faith: Part III by MSW.  MGB: I agree with Ratzinger on the problem of pelagianism.  Now that he is Pope, lets see if he is willing to reverse it.  He can start by letting people into the doctrine business who actually have a sex life by opening the priesthood to married people (of all varieties) and discarding the ideal of Holy Continence - which is more Stoic and Pelagian than Christian.  There is nothing holy about the desire to separate the celebration of Christian marital sex with the celebration of the Eucharist on the same Sunday morning. Both are holy.  St. Paul was the first to say that to use Christianity simply as an ethical system without focusing on the resurrection is simply foolish, because you can get ethics elsewhere through natural reason.
