The following article is an excerpt from a chapter entitled "Castidad" (Chastity), from the book Para ser cristiano (To Be A Christian), written by Juan Luis Lorda. I´d highly recommend the book, which is divided in short chapters that deal with specific subjects related to our Christian walk.
In this selection, which deals with chastity, Lorda gives a compact argument for why the Church emphasizes the need for sexuality to be considered within the realm of marriage.
Juan Luis Lorda is a priest, an Industrial Engineer, and holds a Doctorate in Theology from the University of Navarre, where he is a profesor in Anthropology. He is the author of several books, some of which have been translated into other languages. Para ser cristiano was written in 1991, and is published by Ediciones Rialp SA, in Madrid. I have not been able to find mention of the book having been translated into English. Hence the following translation and possible errors are mine.
