Negative aspects of ”Casual Sex”
There are various negative aspects of casual sex. This negative aspects have social and physical consequences. Consequently “casual sex” is of great relevance to the church and their view of celibacy.
Social Negative Effects
People who practice casual sex can fall into a state where they will develop a constant need of sex.
We could call this an addiction, so a person would focus on satisfying this “need” instead on other things. This deviates the addict person from more important things concerning his own development or in the way of becoming a valuable asset of society
“There are social conflicts over sex. For example you are protective of your sister though when you go and have sex with someone, you are with someone else’s sister. Jealous people will fight with potential competitors and so on” (Ian Clark)
Vicious Circle
It has already been stated that sex can cause addiction, looking at it in a deeper way, people could fall in a vicious circle, not to mention others can take advantage of this vicious circle.
Suppose a person is addicted to sex, obviously he is going to try to have sex at all costs. Lots of scenarios can occur, like paying for it, which in almst all the cases carries the big risk of getting sick and spreading diseases to other people and so on.
An example of people getting advantage of this vicious circle. This can occur in a lot of places. One person can manipulate the addict through sex to make the addict do things that the addict might not want to do or that are a degrataion to the addict or even worse to others. Blackmail is very common in these cases. For example in a couple either the man or the women can manipulate the other one so the addicted person will do things against their will.
Sex addiction can have many serious consequences in the workplace-
In a company for example a boss can blackmail a subordinate to have sex over a promotion or the fear of losing his job.
Or it can be even the opposite, a subordinate an manipulate a boss having sex then demanding promotions, special favors and so on. It can even get to the case of blackmailing him with sexual harassment or even if the boss is married, a lot of problems could be involved. All over an addiction to sex.

post 2 ( catholic church wants power)
The Catholic Church bases its decisions in their own legal system which is contained in different ¨holy texts¨ but most of the people involved in the church do not understand the outlaws.
It’s completely normal that people understand what their own social circle has been taught. In that way is perfectly correct that priests think everything the bible said is true and good. At the same time they don’t understand that the outside has its own laws and ways of thinking.
It’s precisely in the upper point when the trouble starts. A titanic battle of ¨what rule should be followed comes¨. The outside laws system is trying to make a peaceful and secure situation for their population. Even if the Catholic Church system try’s the same, the system is only based on some old texts and does not have any kind of legal logic and juridical process.
For centuries (5-15 th) Church was the most powerful organization in the (world) and the country that showed more interest in Catholic Church legal system was Spain; they were so into the Church ideals that they even aloud the Pope and Cardenals to make states decisions.
The greatest fear of Church is to lose its power and control over people, and that fear in the 15 century leads into one of the longest and terrifying persecution of all humanity (even bigger that Hitler´s) inquisition.
The inquisition was so big and devastating for many reasons, but the principal one, was a big problem in the Catholic law system. In those times the simple fact of accusing someone as a witch or wizard was enough proves to give capital penalty to anyone.
The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, commonly known as the Spanish Inquisition, was a tribunal established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms, and to replace the medieval inquisition which was under papal control. The Inquisition worked in large part to ensure the orthodoxy of recent converts, especially those Jews, Muslims and others coerced on pain of death to adopt the Christian religion. Various motives have been proposed for the monarchs' decision to found the Inquisition, such as increasing political authority, weakening opposition, suppressing conversos, and profiting from confiscation of the property of convicted heretics. The new body was under the direct control of the Spanish monarchy. It was not definitively abolished until 1834, during the reign of Isabella II.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Inquisition)
So after all everything they wanted was to remain in power. Power that they were and are losing because of their bad legal system and their close mind to accept, that church and state are different and separate things. And even if they chase the same purpose (peaceful existent) their own laws do not allow to anyone follow them.

Post 1 (catholic church vs women´s rights)
The people, who are in favor of abortion, think that Catholic Church is against women’s rights
A kid is the expensive possession anyone could have. Raising a child in Mexico costs almost $7000, 000 (0-18 years) if the kid is receiving an average education. If the kid is receiving an education and life style above the average the cost go into an amazing $18,000,000.
This data was given by the government of Mexico in the last survey of DIF (Desarrollo Integral de la Famila) they did say that most of the people that participate were in a ¨normal¨ family position. So the idea of dealing with such big responsibility alone doesn´t seem like a good idea for women that do not have either work or the father of the child with them.
The church is position, that they single mothers punishment should suffer their acts. Sadly they do not think about the children of poor single mothers might get.
Then is wen abortion comes into the play, as a better option.
Pressure is growing to repeal or change the abortions laws. Ministers, doctors, legislators and population experts are all joining the repeal effort. We are likely to see the laws in just a few years. But we as women must raise broader social questions, stressing our right to voluntary pregnancy and the need for collective responsibility for children. The blatant racism in the medical profession that forces sterilization in ADC mother who seek hospital abortions yet approve four times as many abortions for private patients than for ward patients must end.

It is true that all women have the right to decide for their own good in this case for the good of the baby. People should remember that a life of a new born baby depends completely on the mothers life. If the mother doesn´t have the resources to give the child a good life, the one who could truly suffer is the kid.
The church demands, that society prohibit abortion because it ends a new life. Unfortunately the church does not really care about the quality of life of these persons.
Every woman has the right to choose for her own good and for the good of its child.

Negative Aspects of “Casual Sex”
Negative Aspects of “Casual Sex”
There are various negative aspects of casual sex. This negative aspects have social and physical consequences. Consequently “casual sex” is of great relevance to the church and their view of celibacy.
Scientific Negative Effects
One negative physical effect , that can cause problems to a person who practice casual sex like the development of an addiction. The Church is not opposed to sex per se, but opposed to recreational sex.
“Orgasm causes a sharp high just like any other drug”- Gert Holstege (Link 2)
“There is a high then a sharp downturn. It is very addictive. To meditates , yogis and mystical Christians it is a crude damaging bliss, that ultimately makes people less blissful. The only true bliss is found in permanent things like meditation, coolness, love etc.” (Link 2)
The church only allows sex for the purpose of reproduction , not as an action to obtain pleasure. It is claimed that the orgasm and sensations you experience during sex; are as harmful and addictive as a drug.
Sex Chemistry
There is a graphical description of the brain chemistry orgasm. This chemistry (according to Holstege) is practically identical to that of the heroin rush. Using this chemistrilyngo, the orgasm, heroin or other powerful opiates cause the brain dopamine to blast or rush.
Men know this experience as a rush of blood to the head and a short blackout.Dopamine is a neural transmitter, so it facilitates thought.
Therefore during the rush the subject feels like they know a lot, are enlightened, or are getting some sort of peak experience (link 2)
So this Peak causes great pleasure but, due to the sudden lack of it, and a hollow sensation, the person will seek to once again attain this rush.
“the problem is with the crash… After the crash , the subject lacks dopamine and gets a semi-replacement for it, prolactin. Prolactin is calming and satiating, but does not inhibit thinking.” (Holstege)
During this period the dopamine is lacking , so the subject may look for another source, ( probably what just gave him his peak) and can, therefore, begin de cycle of addiction.

Title: Catholics laws systems.
Name: Ashanti Diaz Ocampo.
Definition of the Catholic Church law system.
Is the body of laws and regulations made by or adopted by ecclesiastical authority, for the government of the Christian organization and its members. It is the internal ecclesiastical law governing the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches, and the Anglican Communion of churches. The way that such church law is legislated, interpreted and at times adjudicated varies widely among these three bodies of churches. In all three traditions, a canon was initially a rule adopted by a council (From Greek kanon / κανών, Hebrew kaneh / קנה, for rule, standard, or measure); these canons formed the foundation of canon law.
The catholic law has bases in different documents.
The Apostolic Canons or Ecclesiastical Canons of the Same Holy Apostles are ancient documents that govern the discipline of the early Christian church.
The last of these decrees contains a very important list or canon of the Holy Scriptures. In the original Koine Greek text they claim to be the very legislation of the Apostles themselves, at least as promulgated by their great disciple, Pope Clement I. Nevertheless, the claim to genuine apostolic origin is generally considered untenable. Some, like Beveridge and Hefele, believe that they were originally drawn up about the end of the second or the beginning of the third century. Most modern critics agree that they could not have been composed before the Council of Antioch of 341, some twenty of whose canons they quote; nor even before the latter end of the fourth century, since they are certainly posterior to the Apostolic Constitutions.
The New Testament is the most know example of catholic law.
Is the name given to the second major division of the Christian Bible, the first such division being the much longer Old Testament. The New Testament is sometimes called the Greek New Testament, Greek Scriptures, the New Covenant, or the New Law.
The original texts were written by various authors sometime after c. A.D. 45, most likely in Koine Greek (according to Greek primacy), the lingua franca of the eastern part of the Roman Empire. Rylands Library Papyrus P52 is generally accepted as the earliest extant record of a canonical New Testament text, which dates somewhere between 117 A.D. and 138 A.D.
Its books were gradually collected into a single volume. Although the Roman Catholic church differs from Protestant denominations as to which works are included in the Old Testament, (see Antilegomena), Christianity has settled on the same twenty-seven book canon of the New Testament: it consists of the four narratives of the life and death of Jesus, called "gospels"; a narrative of the Apostles' ministries in the early church, probably by the same author as the Gospel of Luke, which it continues; twenty-one early letters, commonly called "epistles" in biblical context, written by various authors and consisting mostly of Christian counsel and instruction; and an Apocalyptic prophecy.
There are a lot of similitudes in the law system in the Catholic Church and other religions that were born of Christians.
The Orthodox Church has big influence of the Greek culture and philosophy.
The Greek-speaking Orthodox have collected canons and commentaries upon them in a work known as the Pēdálion (Greek: Πηδάλιον, "Rudder"), so named because it is meant to "steer" the Church. The Orthodox Christian tradition in general treats its canons more as guidelines than as laws, the bishops adjusting them to cultural and other local circumstances. Some Orthodox canon scholars point out that, had the Ecumenical Councils (which deliberated in Greek) meant for the canons to be used as laws, they would have called them nómoi/νόμοι (laws) rather than kanónes/κανόνες (rules), but almost all Orthodox conform to them. The dogmatic decisions of the Councils, though, are to be obeyed rather than to be treated as guidelines, since they are essential for the Church's unity.
The laws of the Anglican Church variety is big, because it´s different in the groups.
The Anglican Communion as a whole, unlike the Roman Catholic Church, does not have a centralized Canon law of its own. Each of the autonomous member churches of Anglicanism, however, does have a canonical system. Some, such as the Church of England have an ancient, highly-developed canon law while others, such as the Episcopal Church in the United States have a less-refined system.
Just as in the Catholic Church the Methodist church has a book in which they tell their codes of behave and discipline.
The Book of Discipline constitutes the law and doctrine of the United Methodist Church[1]. It follows similar works for its predecessor denominations.
It was originally published in 1784, in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and has been published every four years thereafter following the meeting of the General Conference, which passes legislation that is included in the Book of Discipline. The most recent edition is that of 2008.
The basic unit of reference is the paragraph, not the page, chapter or section. The paragraphs are numbered consecutively within each chapter or section, but numbers are skipped between chapters or sections. The paragraph is often only a few lines, but many are several pages long and they can be divided into multiple subdivisions. Paragraphs are first divided using arabic numerals (1, 2, 3,...) which can itself be divided by italicized lower case letters with parentheses (a), b), c), d)...) which may itself be divided using arabic numerals within double parentheses ((1), (2), (3),...)
Traditionally a list of all the bishops with the year of their election is at the beginning of the book. That is followed by a brief history of the church, then the church constitution, and a statement concerning the doctrine and theology of the church. The Social Principles of the church follow. Finally the legislative section, by far the largest part of The Discipline, appears
