Religious Divide

There is a divide between our way of thinking and certain precepts that the Church continues to uphold. This concerns not only homosexuality, but also premarital relationships and contraceptive practices. But who, nowadays, remains a virgin until marriage? Who does not use contraception?

A kind of silent rift has therefore developed between the Church and its faithful. Young people go to church, but when they reach adulthood, they leave because premarital relationships are the norm. Married couples, too, cannot do without contraceptives: they cannot give up their intimacy, but neither can they have ten or fifteen children as they once did. In short, the problem is not just homosexuality, but heterosexual relationships as well: in practice, it concerns everyone, except perhaps the elderly and children.

Yet there is also a great need for faith, and Christianity remains at the very foundation of our civilization. In short, we live in a kind of state of inner division: we both believe and disbelieve at the same time.
