For those who do not sympathize with associating \u201cconcupiscence\u201d with \u201cwanton shopping, economic oppression, environmental degradation, or totalitarian power\u201d, well, what about sex?<\/p>\n

When it came to sex, St. Augustine \u2013 if you will excuse the pun \u2013 rose above all.\u00a0 Augustine pinned the tail of lust, I mean, the \u201ctale\u201d of lust, onto the donkey of \u201cconcupiscence\u201d.<\/p>\n

Horniness can make a jackass of anyone.\u00a0 I mean this in terms of ontology.\u00a0 What if the creative act in which God forms the soul is somehow linked to this heaving and hoeing that is the concupiscent fruit of horniness?\u00a0 Talk about sullied.\u00a0 A woman may just as well give birth to a donkey.<\/p>\n

Or maybe we can turn the table around, and see the donkey \u2013 the jackass \u2013 giving birth to the babe.\u00a0 Now, that bumping and grinding, that unencumbered exhibition of \u201cconcupiscence\u201d, is redeemed by a mystical moment \u2013 the moment of conception \u2013 where one of tens of billions of sperm \u2013 and one alone \u2013 penetrates the membrane of the egg.\u00a0 It could just as well have taken place in heaven.\u00a0 To be alive is like winning the lottery.<\/p>\n

Now, put a thin, pliable, yet impenetrable barrier between the egg and those sperm.\u00a0 Now, there is only \u201cconcupiscence\u201d.\u00a0 The mystical moment has been removed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
