Faceless

This is one of those quotes that just makes my jaw drop. Amazing. (Hat tip to Jean at Catholic Fire.)

"Sex divorced from love, instead of raising man by taking him away from himself, drags him down to the hall of mirrors where he is always confronted with self. Sex does not care about the person, but about the act. The fig leaf which once was put over the secret parts of man and woman in sculpture is now put over the face. The person does not matter."

~ Servant of God Archbishop Fulton John Sheen (1895 - 1979), Those Mysterious Priests, 1974
