THE

SEXUAL MKS AND CATHOLIC CHURCH'S VIEWPOINT IN OUR CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY •

By Father ANDREW GREELEY, author and sociologist.

It is unfortunate that so much debate has raged on certain aspects of Catholic sexual ethics that the broader and more positive elements of the Catholic sexual viewpoint have been overlooked — often even by Catholics. It must be remembered that when Christianity appeared in the world, human thinking about sexuality was dominated by two opposing currents. Sex is one of the best "sacraments" (re-presentaOn the one hand, there was an intense pagan hedtions) of the love of God for his people precisely beonism that sought only pleasure and regarded others cause of the built in tendency toward commitment inas instruments of pleasure; on the other, there was the volved in sexual love. contempt for the human body as the prison of the God speaks to us in the world mostly through human spirit, a mark of most philosophical systems other people. The God who created the world is also after Plato. the God who calls us forth. Sex was viewed as debasing because it was the The one who set things in motion is also the one most powerful of forces that confined the human spirit who invites the very best to come out in us. in its physical bondage. God's spirit, the spirit of life and love, challenges Christianity opposed both errors, and in the prous to that which is richest, most generous, most trustcess often permitted itself to be contaminated by the ing, and most open in our personalities mostly through body-hatred of the platonic world view which dominour encounters with other human beings. ated philosophical and religious thinking in the late For most of us, the most powerful invitations to stages of the Roman empire. break out of the narrowness, the timidity, the defensPart of the reason for such a drift, of course, was iveness, the selfishness behind which we too often hide that in their pastoral work Christian thinkers like St. comes through sexual love.

"SACRAMENT"

ST. PAUL AND JESUS

VULNERABILITY

FOR PLEASURE - AND FOR LIFE

GUARANTEE

He gave the definitive Christian response to the antisex puritans of his own time and subsequent times. And so, for that matter, did Jesus when He worked His first miracle to keep a marriage feast at Cana from turning into a failure. Thus, the residue of sexual puritanism still to be found in some Catholic quarters is a distortion of the Catholic tradition and not an accurate representation of it. While Catholicism does indeed praise celibacy as a special way of serving God, it does not mean that the Catholic tradition thinks that sexual union is base, degrading inferior, or second-rate. It is simply another way of being in the world, and the issue is not whether it is better or worse than celibacy but rather which particular form of commitment represents that to which a given individual has been called. Three themes run through a mature Catholic sexual vision: life, person, and commitment. While Catholicism has never taught that every sexual act must be procreative, it does believe that sexuality is linked to the continuation of humankind and the propagation of human life. Life is sacred and must be respected. To treat it with disrespect or contempt is to threaten the basis of all human existence and civilisation. Such a teaching is not superfluous in an era that has seen the holocaust in the concentration camps and at Hiroshima.

Sex is for pleasure, of course, but it is also for life. As such, it is the most sacred and precious gift possible. Human reproduction is not merely a biological function; it is an activity filled with moral and religious responsibility, a truth that humankind has known from its earliest years. These responsibilities may be fulfilled in different ways in different times, but Catholicism cannot in principle accept a total separation between sex and the creation of new life. Second, sex it between persons — between human beings with hopes, fears, insecurities, expectations, vulnerabilities. It is not an automatic act, a responsibility that must be fulfilled, an exploitation of the weak by the strong. It may be fun, but it is not just fun; if the basic humanity of the sexual partner is not reverenced and respected, then sex becomes a perverted evil. Finally, there is a strain in sexual activity toward commitment. Obviously it is biologically possible to have sex without it, but psychologically, there is a BDst both in the diminishing of sexual pleasure and in the injury done to the persons involved.

Yet vulnerability is hard because it means that we are so open, body and spirit, to the other that he or she can hurt us, wound us, even break our hearts. More than that, in the ordinary course of events the other will hurt us, and we will hurt the other. The joy of sexual love involves the pain of being hurt by the loved one as well as the guilt of knowing we have caused pain. It also requires the strength and the faith to begin anew. Often married people turn away from such vulnerability because while the pleasures it brings are very great, the risks seem even greater. Hence much of the difficulty with human sexuality in the present era is that we expect much more from our sexual intimacies than our ancestors did, yet we have not expanded our skills at being vulnerable ourselves and being tender with the vulnerabilities of others. Vulnerability and tenderness — particularly throughout a long period of committed relationship — require courage and faith. It is hard to be both gentle and open unless one believes that one lives in a world in which good is stronger than evil, purpose more evident than absurdity, love more pervasive than hate, life more powerful than death. Only if the ultimate powers of the universe underwrite and validate our strivings for vulnerability and tenderness can we keep taking the risks involved. For Catholic Christians, then, the image of a God who is committed to us in passionate love with implacable fidelity is a guarantee that one does live in an ultimately benign universe where it is safe to risk oneself in the taking and the giving of human intimacy. Note well that it is the Catholic conviction that the world is under the control of a deity whose love is so powerful that it makes the passion of sexually aroused humans for one another than human arousal but more passionate. It is that faith that can and should support humans as they strive to develop the physical and psychological skills that are necessary for their common life. Fidelity is not so much a negative thing, like staying out of someone else's bed, as it is a positive quest for improving the quality of the common life together — in bed and out of it. Catholicism is in the process of reevaluating some of its traditional sexual norms not because any fundamental principles have changed but because the circumstances in which those principles must be applied have changed and because we have new insights into human behaviour that we did not possess in years gone by.

Love and the community

Love between a man and a woman is firstly a personal, interior and intimate bond and their own possession. It is also a public possession because they ask the community around them to recognise, respect and protect the attachment they have for each other and their children. If a couple seek this recognition from the community then marriage is no longer merely a couple's own private business. The community will make its laws about which unions will be accepted and recognised, and which will be rejected, irrespective of how the couple may think on the matter. The Church is a community of Christians; it too, will make laws that recognise and respect publicly the spiritual and sacramental qualities of the bond, of love.

WHERE TO GET THE RECORD

Observance A law, whether made by the civil community or by the Church community is an expression of what that particular body thinks about a marriage union and what standards are expected of those . who enter into it. The laws of the land about marriage may change from time to time; so rimy some of the lesser laws of the Church which do not affect the fundamental teaching about Christian marriage. Whether a particular person obeys the law, or their conscience recognises the law, is a different question. A man may steal because he feels that certain money should have been rightfully his; the court may sympathise with his predicament but it will gaol him nevertheless, because he has broken the law as it stands. If a person breaks the State law on marriage he is warned' that there are fines or even imprisonment.

What the church says

For its laws on marriage the Church has no police force or gaol by which to enforce them..

How serious are they? Some laws of the Catholic Church are basic to the very meaning of the marriage bond itself; others are regulations about the celebration of particular marriages and to which there are exceptions. The laws of the Church may declare that a marriage is impossible to contract under any circumstances; other laws may apply only to baptised Catholics, still other laws govern situations that can be easily rectified. The Church as a community believes that it has the right to ask the obedience of the members of the Church — that is, those who wish to be publicly acknowledged as members of the Church. In marriage, possibly more than in any other matter, the faith of an individual in the Church is likely to be tested; young people have to be educated to the fact that in following the teachings of Christ on life-long marriage fidelity, hard choices have to be made in the name of faith.

Natural life The first basic law is about the meaning of marriage itself. Marriage for all human beings is deemed to be a union between an adult man and an adult woman, undertaken for their lifetime, and conferring sexual and family rights. No couple marrying are entitled to alter the basic nature of this union, say, by limiting the union to a period of time, until the money runs out or the children grow up, or even totally excluding the possibility of the other having children. For the average unmarried person, therefore, their first commitment to marriage is their final choice and until death. This law is applied by the Church to any two human beings, of whatever religion or none, of whatever nationality or culture — no matter what the prevailing attitudes may have come to accept. Christ's teaching, therefore, against divorce and re-marriage (Saint Matthew gospel, chapter 19) is considered to be the indisputable Christian norm, irrespective of what concessions people make to each other, albeit in good faith.

Public announcement of commitment

A second basic law is that a marriage union is not recognised until it has been confirmed by the giving of some public sign of consent. This is popularly called the wedding cere( • CONTINUED PAGE 8 ) INT4,04,1N/NF.OMMO,04PI,I,I4V.P4NNIN

....M.o....,

Getting Married mony; a wedding, however, is not a marriage but merely the moment from which the couple will daily fulfill their promise to love each other exclusively. The Church does not recognise a marriage until a satisfactory public ceremony has taken place. This ceremony does not have to be a religious service or an act of worship, still less a party for friends. All that is required is for the couple to be truly free to marry and that they publicly say so.

Special for Catholics For Catholics getting married there is a further obligation. Anyone baptised as a member of the Catholic Church is bound, at the time of their weddin.,. to pronounce their consent in the presence of priest or deacon and two adult witnesses. Strictly speaking, even Catholics are not bound to express their consent in a religion , service or other liturgy; in practice, the Chur does have regulations and instructions about where and how the ceremony ought to be conducted, but fundamentally it requires no more than the presence of the couple, the priest and the two witnesses. The phrase "married in (or outside) the Church" means therefore whether the marriage has been contracted before a Catholic official and therefore whether it is recognised as valid or not.. If a Catholic has not fulfilled this basic law, then no matter what alternative ceremony tal“.',s place, their union is not recognised by the Church. Where such irregularities occur, sometimes marriages are quietly rectified in a simple, private ceremony. Apart from this particular application of a law to Catholics, the Catholic Church makes no distintion about the equal validity before God of every person's marriage, if the prior conditions are correct.

Baptism Some Catholics may choose not to recognise the right of the Church to make such laws or of their necessity to obey them. This goes back to the time of baptism when, if they were infants, a commitment to their membership of the Church wat made by parents or godparents. Commitment to Christ in baptism is also a public commitment to the community of baptised believers, who are the Church. The Church will not confer baptism if the parents will not include in their undertaking, bringing up their children to observe the laws of the Church. Nowadays, interviews with parents and godparents are compulsory before baptism so that these obligations can be understood; where there is some doubt on the part of parents, baptism will be deferred until sufficient faith on the part of the parents is present.

mission. Faithful to the gospel, celebrating the one eucharist and dedicated to the service of the same Lord, it is the church of Christ. In spite of authoriative action and proclamation of the people of God to the world therefore are not simply the responsibilities of each church acting separately, but of all the local churches together. The spiritual gifts of one may be an inspiration to the others. Since each bishop must ensure that the local community is distinctively Christian he has to make it aware of the universal communion of which it is part. The bishop expresses this unity of his church with the others: this is symbolised by the participation of several bishops in his ordination.

CHURCHES MEET of Jerusalem (Acts

9. Ever since the Council 15) the churches have realised the need to express and strengthen the koinonia by coming together to discuss matters of mutual concern and to meet contemporary challenges. Such gatherings may be either regional or worldwide. Through such meetings the church, determined to be obedient to Christ and faithful to its vocation, formulates its rule of faith and orders its life. In all these councils, whether of bishops only, or of bishops, clergy and laity, decisions are authoriative when they express the common f aith and mind of the church. The decisions of what has traditionally been called an "ecumenical council" are binding upon the whole church; those of a regional council or synod bind only the churches it represents. Such decrees are to be received by the local churches as expressing the mind of the church. This exercise of authority, far from being an imposition, is designed to strengthen the life and mission of the local churches and of their members. 10. Early in the history of the church a function of oversight of the other bishops of their regions was assigned to bishops of prominent sees. Concern to keep the churches faithful to the will of Christ was among the considerations Which contributed to this development. This practice has continued to the present day.

BISHOP'S DUTY

This form of episcope is a service to the church carried out in coresponsibility with all the bishops of the region; for every bishop receives at ordination both responsibility for his local church and the obligation to maintain it •••• • ,

The bishop of a principal see should seek the/ fulfillment of this will of Christ in the churches of his region. It is his duty to assist the bishops to promote in their churches right teaching, holiness of life,%/, brotherly unity and the church's mission to the world.

"SECRET MARRIAGE" AN OPERATIC TRIUMPH THE MASS — SCHOOL OF HOLINESS AT TM OCTAGON

Monsignor J. T. McMahon says: II

Long before the coining of Christ, Malachias, the last of the prophets, condemned the sacrifices of the Jews because their hearts were not in them.

The holocausts had deteriorated into cold, official ceremonies. The prophet said: "I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will not receive a gift of your hand." (Mal. 1:10). The same will be said of our Mass unless there is an interior self offering. Pope Pius XI speaks to us: "We must bring together, in the august sacrifice of the Blessed Eucharist, the act of immolation made by the priest with that of the faithful, so that they, too, may offer themselves up as a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God. (Romans 12:1).

'CREDIT BALANCE'

"Therefore, St. Cypprian dared to affirm that the Sacrifice of Our Lord is not complete as far as our sanctification is concerned unless our offerings and sacrifices correspond to his Passion." William James, the American psychologist, in "Talks to Teachers" advices a daily asceticism as a credit balance to draw upon in times of stress He temptation. and writes: "Keep the faculty of effort alive by a little gratuitous exercise every day. "Do something daily if for no other reason than its difficulty so that when a crisis comes you will be armed to face it." We Catholic parents, priests, educators, and pupils have a great advantage over William James and his school, for we know where to deposit that credit-balance won by asceticism and thus earn good interest on it. The physical and mental "acts" are put upon the altar at Mass as gifts of reparation and

satisfaction for our sins. That offering does more than make amends, it gives us a spiritual currency to pay for the grace and strength to harvest many more gifts for the altar. Prayer, of course, goes before, accompanies, and concludes each "act'', for without prayer we could neither begin nor continue to fight ourselvez. We may look upon the Mass as a spiritual exchange wherein we may trade in our small gifts for something richer. If we direct our youth : daily to look upon tit, physical tax of keeping fit, and the mental discipline of attention and concentiation, as gifts to bring to Mass to bargain for spiritual help, we are providing youth with a motive, double-winged that is, practising some self-control for its own sake, and then exchanging it for something higher.

DISCIPLINES

The physical and mental disciplines will be better done if we frequently remind ourselves that they are coins to purchase holiness of lite. For many of us the motives behind any fotm of discipline are not clearly seen. Our efforts at selfcontrol would have a sense of purpose, and this awakens enthusiasm. if the "do's" and "don'ts" of physical and mental discipline were t aised to an ascetism on the wings of spiritual motives. We hope to get ourselves saying:

"ACTS" AS GIFTS

"I will do this physical chore, which is a job I do not like, or I will tackle that weakness in my character so that I may have something to offer in Mass in exchange for a spiritual gift." Looking upon "acts" as gifts to bargain with at Mass provides a motive that is personal, real, and very near to all of US.

To harvest "acts" for something higher is to pay in advance, a spiritual lay-by, and that is more acceptable to God than just asking for it in oral prayer. This idea has such good possibilities that it should accompany all our efforts to help us to build ourselves into be:. ter persons. Within the Mass, what a marvellous exchange of gifts takes place! We offer bread and wine and they are changed into the Body and Blood of Christ. We offer to the Eternal Father His own Divin Son for the same ends as He offered Himself on Calvary, and the Eternal Father gives Him back to us in Holy Communion. And the same thing happens with our own life and work and hopes and ambitions. We offer them to God from the paten during Mass; he accepts them, transforms them, and returns them to us made new, not our own life, but the Christ-life living in us.

RICH RETURN

Even as He declares that not a cup of water given in His name goes unrewarded, so no gift of ours but wins a return, a rich return from the Lord of generosity. This idea for the Mass as a spiritual exchangemarket will encourage those who look upon their daily doing as futile, of little value, a kind of life in which nothing happens. We can assure them that their little lives of work and play, of joys and sorrows, all join with Christ on the altar, who is lifting up the offerings of the whole Church militant on earth to the Eternal Father. All creation is on the altar with Christ and each of us can contribute something worthwhile to the gifts which Christ Himself is now offering. With all those united

at worship in the Mass we claim* comradeship, and as comrades, our offerings, no matter how small, are acceptable and pooled, and because of them we shall receive much more. We must convince ourselves that the Mass is the best training ground for holiness of life. The temple of character can be built only by the inward dweller; no one else can do it for him. In school days an individual can be carried along with the herd, but on that foundation one does not build for the future. Our concern is with ourselves, for this training is essential if we would build ourselves from within and thus merit heaven. For us this will mean more thought and more attention in praying the Mass. The most vital fight in life for us is the conquest of ourselves. Let us look upon the Mass as the arena wherein the battle for selfmastery is continually being fought.

Aboriginal award for sports; nominations

The Church has always opposed divorce because of its conviction about the importance of the personal commitment involved in sex. (Although that opposition has never excluded the possibility of "divorce" under some circumstances.) The Church still believes that a full marriage commitment between two baptised people is an irrevocable commitment. However, in recent years, with the advances made in psychological understanding, the Church has come to recognise that a considerable degree of psychological and personal maturity is required to make a full marriage commitment, and that many marriages from the beginning were not marked by such a commitment. Hence "annulments" — the decision that such maturity was not present — are more frequent than they used to be. One must also say candidly that there is substantial disagreement among Catholics on the subject of contraception.

BIRTH CONTROL

No one would argue that unlimited fertility is required, but the official (though "non-infallible") teaching of the Pope is that all "artificial" means of birth control (includin the pill) are contrary to God's law.

The grounds for this decision are basically the conviction that the "life" and "person" aspect of the Catholic tradition could not otherwise be adequately safeguarded. Many Catholics — theologians, priests and laity — disagree. They argue that the 1968 statement by the Pope did not take into account sufficiently the experiences of Catholic family life nor the entirely new situation of very low infant mortality rates. Less than one hundred years ago, for example, ten pregnancies would be required to produce two adults that would survive into their own child-bearing years. Now ten pregnancies can easily mean ten surviving children — and a consequent population expansion: It is not the purpose of this article to settle the issue — though obviously all Catholics must take very seriously the official teaching of Church authority. But this controversy, however important it may be, should not lead Catholics and non-Catholics to overlook the rest of the Catholic vision on human sexuality. • Father ANDREW GREELEY is director of the Centre, for the Study of American Pluralism of the National Opinion Research Centre in Chicago. He is the author of two books on sexuality, "Sexual Intimacy" and "Love and Play," Seabury Press. Father Greeley's work appears widely in newspapers, magazines and journals.

The W.A.C.L.T.A. mixed pennants season has created interest

There have been a number of inquiries about the West A ustralian Catholic Lawn Tennis Association mixed pennant season which is due to start next month and considerable interest has been shown in the games. An Association spokesman said that all those making enquiries had shown enthusiasm and he drew attention to the fact that team entries would close on Tuesday, March 1, with the organiser, care of 70 Coniston Way Fremantle. There is an entry fee of $1 per team, and a team consists of two ladies and two men. The spokesman also pointed out that it was not necessary for players in the pennant series to be members of affiliated W.A.C.L.T.A. clubs. He said that if there were four or more players in a parish or district who were prepared to commit themselves for a season the interested people could nominate a team, preferably in the name of a parish. He again reminded all clubs that they should be in a position to provide two courts each Saturday afternoon. The mixed pennants season has been scheduled to start on Saturday, March 19. Matches will be played on consecutive Saturdays including the Saturdays of the long weekends of March 26 and April 23, but excluding Easter Saturday. Play will start at 1.30 p.m. and each team will be required to supply t wo balls per match. Competition will be divided into A, B and/or C grades, depending upon the number of entries received. Clubs should nominate teams for the respective grades; however, the Pennant Committee reserves the right to alter the grading of any team when it considers it necessary. Alterations to a nominated team may be only be made with the approv-

al of the Pennant Committee. Matches will consist of 12 sets comprisng two sets of ladies doubles, two sets of mens doubles and eight sets of mixed doubles. For a completed match the team winning the most sets is deemed the winner, however, if the number of sets won is

even, then the side winning the most games is the winner. For uncompleted matches due to rain or bad light, a draw will be the result, unless one side has won sufficient sets (seven sets). Uncompleted matches will not be postponed to Sundays for completion. — TOM BRANCH.
