Old Kent Road
Hi,
Does anyone know what is meant by the passage in bold, specifically the Old Kent Road part?
Like life itself our bodies are gifts from God, not embarrassing burdens. Sex ought to be a celebration of our bodies and a testament to the power of love. What a terrible impact the misunderstanding of the events in the Garden of Eden has had. The Roman Catholic stance still stands: sex is for married people only and its end is mainly procreation. Try telling that to a 16-year-old boy on the Old Kent Road. It might even be fair to guess that those who make a decision to only have sex within marriage is as rare - in some communities at least - as the vocation to celibacy.
