There is nothing wrong with sex; it is natural, beautiful. We all seek it regardless of the endless proclamations like this. Religion is clever indeed to inject guilt into this natural behaviour; it makes is much easier to manipulate people and that is what this is about: manipulation. Honest education is the answer. I tell kids not to believe a single word any catholic or religous "authority" has to say about sex; it is almost entirely lies aimed at inducing guilt to control people.
@mrjohngalt100 Did you actually watch and listen to the video or are you responding to what you think the Catholic Church teaches about sex? The Church teaches that sex is natural and beautiful. Can you deny, however, that most of our societal problems stem from misuse of sex: unplanned pregnancies, abortion, STDs, infidelity, pornography, rape, sexual abuse, sex slavery, etc.? Sex is beautiful but it has its rightful place.
i agree with swingsiren and alvc22... this is kinda wooden... Come on Catholics - we can do WAY better than this!!! :) What we have is beautiful, let's communicate that with our media too!!
@jdlbordon Thanks for your comment. Actually I don't think they should be actors and I certainly wans't saying they weren't trying their best. I think it's better to use real people who know and love the beauty and excitement of living chastity (presumably like these people). But I think the other two posters have a point: this isn't the clearest communication of the real-world happiness that living chastity brings. It IS a bit wooden and I've certainly seen better :)

@mattinuk - These guys have communicated with media. They are no actors, but I am sure they have done their best to communicate such a great message.

SwingSiren. You're right they don't look like they are bursting with the joy of the Lord. Looks like a funeral there.
