Sexuality is Intrinsic to all Human Life

Think how intertwined sex is with the very reality of human existence. You simply would not exist without the sexual union of your parents . . . and their parents . . . and their parents . . . and their parents. Every human being is the end result of thousands upon thousands of indispensable sexual unions. Go back any number of generations in your family tree and remove just one sexual union from your lineage and you would not exist. Nor would anyone else who descended from that union. The world would be a different place. 

When we tinker with God’s plan for sex, we are tinkering with the cosmic stream of human existence. The human race—its very existence, its proper balance—is literally determined by who is having sex with whom, and in what manner. When sexual union is oriented toward love and life, it builds families and, in turn, cultures that live the truth of love and life. When it is oriented against love and life, sexual behavior breeds death—what we can grimly, yet accurately, describe as a “culture of death.”
