Thesis Statement
The church has been facing a wave of faith loss in the last decade, this is because, men it’s evolving in his way of living. It can be because technology improvement has changed our lifestyle, or trends that have mixed up men together creating new ways of thinking, and the church needs to adapt its laws to this new era.
1) Celibacy Its One Of The Most Discussed topics in recent years.
This can be seen from a lot of point of views with numerous solutions as soft as also as hard as possible. Seeing it from a social point of view, or a religious, or simply a human point of view
II. Celibacy, ¿bad or good?
A. Celibacy is viewed by people as as both bad or good,but it depends
on the point of view. Some think it is a cruel supression of
the human condition as "sexual being" and that it is a down spiral that
make you hate yourself for desiring natural things in us humans. In some cases, people can become priests dueto the urge to supress this "needs" , but as it has been discused, being
a preist, or a man of church does not supress biological "urges" or
needs". On the other side, some see it as a way of controlling themselves,
their desires and feelings, to become more selfless or "selfish" and gain
another level of consciousness.

The Church its Against Gay Weddings and gay couples adopting children.
B. The church it’s strictly against gay or lesbic weddings, because they say that no matter what society legislates or stablishes as permitted they say the “law of god” its very clear, that a marriage of a couple of the same sex its an unholy union. As they claim, “marriage is a union not only of two people who careabout each other but also an important part of society that creates it and sustains it. And a union like this it is against god’s view of man, so you are practically going against god’s will.

III. A gay couple adopting children has negative effects on the development of the family circle and the child’s growth
They claim that adopting a child or children into a homosexual couple can cause serious problems and confusion in the child’s sexual development or view of family structure also of society. Also they say that it would be as if they were “infecting” their condition to other “normal” human being. Also it is important to see that in a lot of cases it is not legal or the couple has no rights because of their “outlaw union”

Iv) Religion is against Birth Control and condoms because they think it goes against the natural law
Religion forbids any kind of birth control because they say it interferes with god’s work, or god’s gift to us, children. They say it turns sex that should be a unifying act between man and women and turns it into an act of pure pleasure and makes it twisted and evil

Discussion
Again all the new topics we researched on are very interesting, we think this is a very good topic with a lot of sources and information we can use, because it involves a lot of aspects of human life and how it has changed and it’s been changing until now and how does religion influences this way of living. Obviously a lot of approaches can be made, so its going to be pretty interesting to decide which side to take in the end.
