What does it take to enter Heaven?

Have sex only for procreational purposes, don't masturbate even once, and you'll be fine.

So you’re basically saying I should behave… at least until Saint Peter lets me in?

Were you Irish Catholic, HoldAll? Not a fan of that Catholicism, myself. Cold, northern, bitter. ugh.

Some very devout Mexican Folk Catholics I know be gay onanists.

I would not ever say that is without tension with purely Catechism-level Catholicism , but also not a big deal in much of Mexican Catholicism culture, at least in the North.

I can't argue that the Church officially blesses gay sexual relationships. I do not like that one personally, having gay friends, and it keeps me at a certain distance from the more conservative, normie TradCaths. But I can very much argue that this teaching is what is called non-infallible, and that it is widely contested among theologians and faithful, and that the Church's own principles allow for conscientious disagreement on non-infallible matters.

From an informal Northern Mexican Catholics perspective I'd say masturbate all you want, have non-procreative sex , as long as one dos not turn it into a official sacrament or statement of faith, or you get married to it.

Oh wait. Sorry, Thelemites.

Catholic altar boy until I discovered my sexual urges, then quit in disgust.
