You couldn't make it up dept no.87: the sermon will not be televised

[fpb]

From www.floridatoday.com:
A church giving sermons about sex may have to find a new home. Brevard Public School District's risk-management department has threatened to boot New Hope Church out of Sherwood Elementary because of a worship series titled "Great Sex for You."

Church leaders mailed 25,000 fliers, asking residents "Is Your Sex Life A Bore?" The three-week program kicked off inside the school auditorium. Pastor Bruce Cadle had said the Christian church has been "shamefully silent" on the taboo topic.

Mark Langdorf, the director of risk management, says the mailers generated complaints, were not appropriate for elementary school children and shouldn't be used to advertise the sermon in the school.

Langdorf says the church's lease contract is under review.

Thomas Aquinas has made a famous philosophical investigation of the concepts involved, which is at the core of Catholic teaching on the issue - other churches may not agree on it, though, the Orthodox certainly don't. I do not feel up to dealing with the whole concept, but I would say that, yes, the Bread and Wine are God incarnate in them, just as the man Jesus, body and faculties and individuality and all, was also and at the same time God. If you think about it, the one thing is not much more unlikely than the other.

Indeed, it makes more sense than what I was told the Catholic Church believed.

Thanks for taking the time, it is appreciated.
