"I love Hugh Hefner," said West. "I really do. Why? Because I think I
understand his ache. I think I understand his longing because I feel it
myself. There is this yearning, this ache, this longing we all have for
love, for union, for intimacy."
West said John Paul II took the sexual revolution an extra
step, outlining what he called the "Theology of the Body." The pope
emphasized how God made Adam and Eve naked and without shame, in his
own image. And told them to be fruitful and multiply.
In other words, according to the pope, from the very beginning, sexual love has been at the heart of God's plan for us.
"Catholicism, properly understood ... is one of the sexiest of
the world's religions," said West. "But what do we mean by that
statement? Catholicism is a very physical, very sensual religion. And
indeed the authentic soundtrack for Christianity is a small book in the
Old Testament called the Song of Songs. And what is it? It is glorious
erotic love poetry." (via Insight Scoop)Update: The Weight of Glory. Decoding the ABC.
