Neko, that makes far more sense to me than the idea of the gods being upset because teenagers touch themselves, some people divorce and remarry, or others are in same-sex relationships. In my opinion, until we get past this primitive religion of punishment/appeasement, we'll never get to the business of the gospel. All this talk about what popes and priests say is a distraction from the core question of the gospels: "But you, who do you say I am?" (Mk 9:29)
