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.
