As someone who has been going to Catholic School her whole life, I am familiarized with the Church's teachings about our sexuality. Throughout all my experiences, I have noticed that a common theme the Church presents is that we are all made in God's image and likeness. There is something mysterious and wondrous about the way God presents humans with the gift of life.The article talks about how the Bishop believes our sexuality is a "wonderful gift," a concept that many people don't really understand. As a teenager, many believe the sexuality can be a burden. In the Church's eyes, it is merely part of God's plan, an important, yet not complete, part of who we are as humans.
From reading this article, I have come to understand the Church's reasons for the view upon sex. After reading the article, I now know, respect, and understand the Church's "unitive dimension" and "procreative dimension" in regards to human sexuality. I also recognize that each individual is learning, growing, and evolving along with their sexuality. That is a part of God's plan.
