Vatican has a cadenza over nun's sex guide - Mail & Guardian Online: The Vatican’s criticism of Sister Margaret Farley, a professor emeritus of Christian ethics at Yale University, comes amid escalating tension with America’s nuns after the Holy See accused them of preaching “radical feminist” ideas.
In a statement approved by Pope Benedict XVI and issued on Monday, the Vatican’s doctrinal office claims Farley’s book Just Love: A Framework for Christian Sexual Ethics, “ignores the constant teaching of the Magisterium or, where it is occasionally mentioned, treats it as one opinion among others”.
The statement singles out Farley’s claim that many women “have found great good in self-pleasuring – perhaps especially in the discovery of their own possibilities for pleasure – something many had not experienced or even known about in their ordinary sexual relations with husbands or lovers.”
