But I want to focus not on advice for human sexuality but on the deep 
Christology. Anyone who professes the Niceaen Creed--"eternally 
begotten, begotten not made..."--is either committed to a (false) 
Aristotelian biology of reproduction or has a *lot* of rethinking to 
do that will end with them worshiping Mary as the eternal Mother 
Goddess...
