    I am curious about this, in earnest. Is there more to this topic that I could read? I guess my interest is metaphysical more than anything but it's got me curious. This is something I never really thought about. In the physical/temporal plane our sex is part of the order of things and necessary. I always considered it an issue that bound me to the temporal/physical. I guess the Church would hold to the notion that we are to strive toward making it to the spiritual side of our sex and sex. If you can help me on this, I'd appreciate it.

    And on a less serious note, what is it atheists scream out in the throes of passion? Oh Humanity! Or what? Any thoughts?

    Catechism of the Catholic Church

    1052 "We believe that the souls of all who die in Christ's grace . . . are the People of God beyond death. On the day of resurrection, death will be definitively conquered, when these souls will be reunited with their bodies" (Paul VI, CPG § 28).
