"Carnal desires include far more than sexual matters, LC.
To be "carnal" means to live according to the desires of the flesh. This could mean anything from a desire for more chocolate, a bigger house, a promotion at work. These things are not bad - nor is sex, btw - but our DESIRES for them can be the things that DRIVE us each day. As such, these desires are disordered."
I've never noted the slightest indication that Catholics are free of these desires, or particularly disposed to not acting on them.

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
