Marriage Depends on the Nose??
The Catholic Church can get quite bizarre when trying to defend its positions. Such an example was seen in the Feb 7 Zenit News Agency article, “The Way to a Woman’s Heart is Through Her Nose.”
Picking up a theme from a recent article in Psychology Today (hardly a godly publication!), Catholic researcher Vicki Thorn tries to present the idea that contraceptive pills can affect the way women smell men, and therefore guide a woman to marry the wrong man! The article said:
“When a woman is on the pill, explained Thorn, her physical chemistry changes as the body is duped into thinking it is pregnant. As a result, the type of man she is attracted to is one with pheromones that are similar to her own, like her father's or her brother's. Her body, through her nose, is trying to help her to surround herself with protection, safety, familiarity.”
“On the other hand, Thorn continued, a woman not using chemical contraception, will be attracted to a man that has a different genetic make up than her own, or her family's, since mates that are genetically too similar can cause difficulties in conceiving, or affect the health of the children.”
Comment – So “the pill” causes a woman to like the smell of a guy who’s DNA may be too close to that of the woman – therefore affecting the health of their children. Hmmmm……I’ve never heard this one before.
And – the pill can further complicate a marriage:
“Problems arise when a woman goes off chemical contraception. Her body will return to a pre-pill chemistry, and she may have difficulty with what she perceives as a different scent of her husband. This may have something to do with why…one of the most common things women tell marriage counselors is, ‘I can’t stand his smell.’”
Let’s get to the truth here: The Catholic Church is not concerned about pre-marital sex, healthy children, or good marriages – the real reason Rome fights the pill is that the only way Catholicism can grow in numbers is through birth rates.
For example, this is why Rome is so supportive of illegal immigration into America, because the white Catholic population in the USA in 2008 is about the same as it was in 1965. The clergy can read the census numbers.
May Catholic singles and couples flee the church of Rome, and receive Christ by faith ALONE; that they would depend on Christ to guide them to the right spouse, and depend on Christ to strengthen marriages – and not depend on the way a woman’s nose is working on a particular day!
