Catholic Group Issues Prayer For Faithful To Say Before Sex

Posted by samzenpus on from the now-I-lay-you-down-to-reap dept.

The London-based Catholic Truth Society has published a book with a special prayer for pious couples to recite together before they have sex. The Truth Society says the prayer aims to 'purifying their intentions' so that the act is not about selfishness or hedonism. The book also covers other stages of marriage and family life including, pregnancy, caring for children and elderly parents, and a short prayer to recite when you've stayed out too late on poker night.

    Catholics have always believed that sex between a married hetrosexual couple was a holy, good act. I think many of you are thinking of the puritans disdain for sex, which permeates the social mores of American life.
