Two important news in recent weeks may seem at first sight disparate, independent and historically and culturally distant from each other. However, in my opinion Both raise serious questions about attitudes toward sex and children in all societies.
One story is about the sordid revelations surrounding Alfie the baby's face, the boy said to have conceived a child with a girl of fourteen, at the age of only twelve years. Although at the time of new birth "is broke ", there were rumors that other, slightly larger and more active contenders for the title of the article, Alfie non-poor, following the results of Recent DNA testing. To give credit Alfie, proclaimed their willingness to take responsibility for their actions, even if he does not understand the meaning of the word "financial." Perhaps an astute financial adult use angelic features "father" and the child could explain. Max Clifford, who assumed the role publicist, or father of the girl, who appeared in public with a mask of the devil?
Masquerading behind the face of Christ, we can say were exposed as priests sexually abusing children in Catholic institutions in Ireland between 1930 and 1990. Children who have been truant, considered endangered in any way, or children of single mothers were among those sent to these institutions, probably for their own protection and good.
So what share these stories have in common? Both have elements of a subclass of protecting vulnerable children, and therefore, the question of prevention is an important strategy the task of protection. On the one hand we have a group of underprivileged children to be used for the satisfaction of adults who should care for and educate both spiritual and intellectually. On the other hand we have free sex among older children, under high rates of teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, in particular, but not exclusively, low education, low aspirations section of our society. A vacuum appears to be the ground. What should be put in instead?
John Banville, who grew up in a Catholic institution run by the Irish Christian Brothers, wrote in The New York Times recently "What happened to them in the impenetrable walls was not our concern. We knew, and did not know. It is our shame today."
The shame of Alfie's story is that we know, they say a lot, and seems to know or want to know what to do this. Our adolescents according to what was described as a "culture of pornography" without seeming too are present in equilibrium in our largely secular society.
Having experienced personally the consequences of an aisle of a Catholic convent school education. I am therefore, does not advocate a return to ignorance, dualism, guilt and Ideally, these traditions, and I'll have the fun and freedom of sexual expression. I propose that we offer our children a much healthier sex, which puts tight in the context of the relationship, overall health and wellness. Viktor Frankl, the Jewish psychiatrist who survived the concentration camps in World War II, noted the absence of sexual perversion in the camps. In the face of misery and total sex no longer a concern, and that, besides the nostalgia offer, in general, Frankl said he was "emotional high" that occurs in dreams of detainees. In his wonderful book, "Man's Search for Meaning" said:
"Love like a primary phenomenon of sex. Typically, sex is a way of expressing love. Sex is justified, even sanctified, as soon but only so long as a vehicle of love. Thus, love is not understood as a mere side effect of sex, but sex is a way of expressing experience of this unit final, to be called love. "
I can not imagine a better way to explain the relationship. And if we try to emphasize to our children, in addition to the hardware physical skills, sex is a pleasurable act that requires trust, responsibility and respect, if not love, can be high, if not sacred, at least over the profane.
The author’s novella, ‘Sex and The Spirit’ is an often poignant, ultimately uplifting, exploration of the influences which shape one woman’s experiences. It is the story of the heroine’s journey, through the maze of memory, towards reconciliation, integration and wholeness. You may read this in one night and remember it for the rest of your life.
