Love is simple, Paul Anthony Daniels, Rouhani, says “in its most visceral form” it reduces three things: spit, semen and sweat. Well, maybe four. Sometimes there is blood. “Sharing love in this way is very visceral.”
I confess, I say to Daniels. I have never been in love – at least in the type of Halmark movie, at least – but I follow it older, so I am a little stunned to hear him describe him with such a shade. You know, the priest and all. He says, God is in the people. This means that God is also in sex.
Daniels loves love. She tells me, she’s looking for it in whatever she does, but especially in the people. This is part of his work as a priest and “the mediator of the love of Christ in the world”. Ceremonially, he is a “olicharist agent, baptism, marriage, confirmation,” self -sacrifice agent. I invite people through that sacred ritual acts to the relationship with God. But that’s more. “

He returned to a rally and dug deeper into what eventually turned into his call. Being gay and Christian meant that he was able to “say and do things that could open the door for people.” Since then, Daniels has turned it into life. Hence the whole spit, semen, sweat. There is a larger background for all ThisShe wants me to know. He also helps him to speak often about these topics – “sexuality as verbal questions” – in addition to being a doctorate candidate at the University of Fordam.
Most people today have what Daniels has made “consumerist sacrifice about the consumption of material things – bodies, clothing, objects.” The worst examples are on social media. He encounters it on Instagram (his favorite dating platform) and the various Hookup programs in which it frequency. According to him, social media is “considered a place of worship.”
