You take the queen, and every other piece is exposed and vulnerable. You take the king, and the game is over. Sadly, we’ve watched incompleteness in the family increase dramatically in our lifetimes. There are certainly many factors at play in that reality, but the one I want to target here is a powerful one. It’s the Dad factor.

But the principle is equally valid for those of us who cannot go off to monasteries. Certain vocations offer the same kind of opportunity for contemplation, and provide a desert for reflection.

Christianity has struggled mightily with sex; so too have most other religions. And yet when we look at sexual desire and ask where it comes from, there can be only one answer.
