Sex and Heaven: Catholics in Bed and at Prayer

John Portmann examines what it takes to get into heaven, and why religions--Roman Catholicism in particular--place so much emphasis on sex and sexual orientation as a measure of a soul, making "correct sex" the key for achieving salvation above all other virtues. Even as the Vatican has acquiesced on the morality of slavery, and in 1964 officially admitted Jews into heaven, homosexuals--even those who may be otherwise model Catholics--are still disqualified from entering heaven's gates. Portmann analyzes how the way we worship is not as important to the world's religions as the way we make love.
