For over 2000 years, the Roman Catholic Church has been working to control human sexual desire. Of all the religions in the world, it has the greatest problems with lust. Asceticism, chastity, and celibacy are the masks behind which Eros lurks everywhere. However, the divine project is failing, as it is sexuality—this "destructive force of the devil"—that brings the world to life. How purity can emerge from impurity and the grotesquely strained efforts the Vatican has made, especially since the abuse scandals, to achieve this are the focus of Thomas Veszelits in his new book. "Eroticism in Catholicism from A to Z": From "Adam and Eve" to "celibacy," the author takes a journey into the forbidden realm of the senses. He compiles examples, data, and facts about how the Catholic Church deals with sexuality.
