Then why are things like IVF not just neutral? Did the church come out and say it, or is it by default of not being in the specific way unholy?
Lovemaking- love and making. IVF- love and making. Aside from what the church has decided, I don't see what ingredient the other lacks or has that the other does or doesn't.
Because it involves the creation of new human life, which is one of the most sacred things on this planet.
The second line is just a matter of semantics. I think everyone knows that by "lovemaking" I mean having self giving, loving sex with your spouse.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
