  WHY is your concise statement not the position of every Catholic who ever has both fully loved and been fully loved? 
  
  Maybe it is!!!!!!
  
  "How to show affection" cannot be prescribed, controlled, or mandated. THAT is natural law at its most basic. The Book of Love is not a manual. The Book of Love is not a rule book. The Book of Love is authored by daring and unselfish lovers, not by grumpy umpires or by "cold and timid souls" in the press box who never "will know neither victory nor defeat."  
  
   "The Allowable Ways to Make Love" sounds like a chapter--a very scary one at that--in a George Orwell novel. And, yes, it can happen here, when control of others becomes accepted virtue.
  
  It is so ironic to me that those who oppose any interference into their private lives--with a strong, consistent, and credible Conservative tradition to back them up--actually accept being told "how to and how not to" behave in THE most personal, private, and intimate parts of their existence.
