That doesn't answer my question, it just turns it into a circular argument: "how do you know a thing is sacred? Because god says its sacred. why does he say it's sacred? Because its sacred!!"
I'm not asking whether male-female sex is sacred (you've already said that is what you believe), I'm asking how you know God deems it sacred? Is your position entirely reliant on what the RCC says? On something else? If its based on the RCC, how do you know theyre not relying on the naturalistic fallacy to justify their postion? If its something else, what is that other thing?
It is based on RCC teaching on faith and morals, which I believe to be guided by God.
It also makes sense to me personally that human life is sacred and so is the love between husband and wife in which this new life is created.
"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."
