But before entering the matter of the matter, the preside presented a prologue conceived in these terms: "You have probably heard criticism of the church as that for a long time she would have been obsessed with sins against the sixth and ninth commandment and that would have put in its transmission of Christian morality a dark tint on the marital or sexual problems, on the affective life, etc.
Well, that critique is unfounded. I think we're wanted to instill a kind of guilt complex in this field. And is a complex of guilt that has worked, because many times there is no talk, even in preaching or catechesis, of that area of moral life. It is not the most important, and it is not the only one evidently, but the focus has shifted to other moral areas, such as relations of justice. Justice is a fundamental virtue, but there are also other virtues which make the moral constellation of the Christian; all have, moreover, their basis in conception about the human person".
After this introit, Monsignor Agueda was fully introduced in the commentary of the aforementioned studies of American universities. He indicated that "one of these studies refers that four thousand university students have been investigated by ten American universities about the consequences of casual, unforeseen, unplanned sex, without emotional commitment or future expectations. The conclusions try to link that type of relationship with the mental health problem with very serious emotional consequences, especially in young women.
The study says that it causes stress, feeling of guilt, repentance, and displeasure in young women after a sexual encounter with a stranger".
He indicated that these studies indicate "that sexual contact with strangers is more common in those who have low self-esteem, and that" University students who had participated in casual sexual encounters presented lower levels of self-esteem, satisfaction, and happiness than those students who had not had occasional relationships. Casual sex was also associated with anguish, anxiety, and depression. In this regard, he reflected that the data "refer to the irresponsible sexual relationship, without stable affective bond and without a future perspective, which for us, Christians, is the marriage and the foundation of a family.
