You see, the immemorial problem here is that there are passions, and then there are passions. In some circles, certain passions are given a fond pass & seem much, much more chez nous than weaknesses that ceaselessly provoke their fierce indignation. Generally, we observe that those who don't happen to be much troubled by sexual temptations, whether by virtue or necessity, can tend to be quite subject to other forms of greed, or to comical self-righteousness, or gross hypocrisy & lovelessness, or delusions about pet politicians & movements & the compatibility of their agendas with the Kingdom of God, etc.

Such people are often ever-vigilant about all the sex stuff, rigidly policing communities lest anyone get away with a thing -- and they do efficiently see to it that that never happens. But this is stuff about which Jesus was, while not indifferent, evidently vastly less obsessed than they. Why does this perfectly obvious fact & its consequences always seem to escape such persons?
