This thread is not necessarily impure.  It's a question of moral theology.  It could be impure for some, and not for others.  If you need to avoid it, you should, and you had the opportunity.
.
I think much of America's obsession with sɛҳuąƖity is the puritanical avoidance of discussing it, when necessary.  There is such a thing as a healthy, catholic, moral way to discuss martial relations.  It's part of life; God created it.  What we have in America (which they don't have in Europe or S. America...which are both more Catholic than us)...is avoidance of the issue altogether.  One extreme leads to the other.  There must be balance in both areas, and America has neither.

If CathInfo is described as a place similar to where Catholic topics can be discussed as they would be while having coffee after Sunday Mass, it would (or should) be hard to imagine that the subject of this thread would talked about after Holy Mass at this or that Catholic chapel.  

It is out of place here.      
IS CathInfo described that way?


Anyone who has been around here any time at all, knows that things get pretty bare-knuckled at times.  That's the nature of defending truth and refuting error.  We can't confine ourselves only to that content that would not have soiled the pages of The Maryfaithful 50 years ago.
As for abortion, photographs of fetuses --- both intact and slaughtered --- have done more to teach people the truth about abortion than anything else.  "Back in the day", abortion was spoken of in whispered tones, shame be upon a woman who would ever get herself in the position to consider something like that, and nobody really knew what it was.  It wasn't a topic of decent conversation.  People pretended like it didn't exist.  Hollywood starlets had doctors in Los Angeles who "took care of that sort of thing".  There was always that doctor or midwife "on the edge of town" who could help out a girl who had gotten "in trouble".  Again, it was whispered, it was taboo.


If someone needs to avoid upsetting topics and descriptions, I don't think CathInfo is the best place for them to find refuge from this.

This was my post.  That "Post with your username? (NOT ANONYMOUS)" deselect check-box is a pain in the tuchas.
