Church's new position on sex
November 1, 2004

 Rome: A Vatican-approved sex guide is encouraging churchgoers to make love 
more often to offset "impotence and frigidity" and address papal concerns 
over declining birth rates among Italian Roman Catholics.
The book, It's A Sin Not To Do It, written by two theologians, promises the 
reader answers to "everything you wanted to know about sex but the Church 
[almost] never dared to tell you".
In their attempt to galvanise the faithful, Roberto Beretta and Elisabetta 
Broli, who write regularly for the Italian Bishops' magazine Avvenire, have 
written one of the raciest works ever to deal with the church and sex.
In both style and content the guide marks a radical break with traditional 
church pronouncements on physical intimacy. Forty years ago the Vatican 
published a notorious set of guidelines for courting Catholics that outlawed 
even French kissing before marriage.
However, the pages of It's A Sin Not To Do It feature a frank interview with 
Cardinal Ersilio Tonini in which he emphasises that "the church is not an 
enemy of the flesh".
