Response to Michael P. and Cathy Kaveny
Michael, thank you for answering the first of my two questions. As for the second, I don't think you answered it. My question remains: “[I]s there a connection between your theology (post-metaphysical, apophatic Catholic/Christian) and your sexual ethics?” I know that that the two positions are not necessarily connected. What I am interested in is whether your theology informs your sexual ethics. And, if so, how?
Michael's mention of Margaret Farley reminds me that Michael P., Amy Uelmen, and I promised to engage in a blog dialogue on Farley's book "Just Love," and we have yet to deliver. I'll get with the two of them and pick a new week for this discussion.
Although her first paragraph detracts from the conversation, Cathy's four points (A-D) seem to me to be a good starting point for those more knowledgable than I to discuss the "new" natural law in a way that transcends the liberal/conservative ideological divide. I know that I for one would benefit greatly from such a discussion. And, the less ideological partisanship, the more I'll learn.
