    The societal status of women was ever evolving in the ancient societies. In the Athens, nearly all the women were married. However, they rarely spent time with their husbands. Instead, their husbands would go to hired foreign women entertainers. These women were much more respected than the legitimate women citizens. In the Roman Empire, women had the right to divorce her husband. Upon his death, she would inherit his property, and could live her life as she pleased. In the Minoans civilization, the women were freer when it came to marriage, and it was not necessary required of…

    The sources answer the question of how has society adapted it’s the view of gay rights over time. The sources show how in the early 1900’s, society was not accepting at all of homosexual individuals. The source “Havelock Ellis on Gay Life in the American City (1915)” talks about how homosexual people were called sexually inverse, and how they were viewed as sexual predators. It describes how many, who wear the red neckties of the inverse, are also male prostitutes. As the 20th century progressed, some movement towards acceptance was made. In the source “James Justen Recalls Growing Up Gay in the 1950s”, Justen tells of how he remained closeted throughout high school, and then came out to his parents after. He was lucky, his parents were very…

    “Christianity demands for the restriction or even avoidance of sexual activity by believers”(Cullum 621) Before the rise of christianity sex was widely accepted whether before or after marriage. Due to the reliance of Christianity, it became more attractive for women to hold onto their virginity or take a vow for widowhood. These standards were expected of women, but in no way applied to men. This is thought to be caused by an “undeveloped state of the field of late medieval masculinity, which focused on the high status of men”(Cullum 621). Men are expected to be sexual beings, and by being non-sexual a man is seen as being not normal. Men are to produce heirs, and this cannot be done without being sexual. At this point in time the words virginity, celibacy, and chastity were directly related to women. This article is strictly about christianity and it’s affects on sexuality in the middle ages, giving historical information to the time…

To some Abrahamic religions it is an act even punishable by death. Within the Abrahamic religions, Christianity and Islam have the most staunch stances against Homosexulaity yet within the diverse denominations of both religions the two with perhaps the most vocal in their views of this “sin” are Catholicism and the Hanbali sect of Sunni Islam.…

    Due to the strong religious influence, the very idea of sex, sexuality, and any activities that don’t serve to populate the earth are seen as unfit for society and forbidden. It created a culture where lesbians and gays were executed, along with abortion doctors, and all sexual activities had to be done in underground groups.…

    should feel uplifted due to the acceleration of activity after the election of Ratzinger (Borse 4). It means that the Vatican not only takes the charges seriously, but that it recognizes that the abuse problem is not exclusive to the United States (Borse 5). It also signals Pope Benedict's dedication to reforming the Church from within the clergy (Borse 6). Whatever the investigation ultimately reveals, the results will be inevitably distressing for Catholics on all sides (Borse 7). Either the founder of an order will be found guilty calling into question the legitimacy of his work on behalf of the Church, or his accusers will be found to be frauds (Borse 8). Either result for Catholics would prove to be a painful…

    Arise, O Lord, and judge Thy cause. A wild boar has invaded Thy vineyard. Arise, O Peter, and consider the case of the Holy Roman Church, the mother of all churches, consecrated by thy blood. Arise, O Paul, who by thy teaching and death hast illumined and dost illumine the Church. Arise all ye saints, and the whole universal Church, whose interpretations of Scripture has been assailed. (papal bull of Pope Leo X, 1520)It truly seems to me that if this fury of the Romanists should continue, there is no remedy except that the emperor, kings, and princes, girded with force and arms, should resolve to attack this plague of all the earth no longer with words but with the sword. . . . If we punish thieves with the gallows, robbers with the sword, and heretics with fire, why do we not all the more fling ourselves with all our weapons upon these masters of perdition, these cardinals, these popes, and all this sink of Roman sodomy that ceaselessly corrupts the church of God and wash our hands in their blood so that we may free ourselves and all who belong to us from this most dangerous fire? (Martin Luther, 1521) Young people have lost that deference to their elders on which the social order depends; they reject all correction. Sexual offenses, rapes, adulteries, incests and seductions are more common than ever before. How monstrous that the world should have been overthrown by such dense clouds for the last three or four centuries, so that it could not see clearly how to obey Christ's commandment to love our enemies. Everything is in shameful confusion; everywhere I see only cruelty, plots, frauds, violence, injustice, shamelessness while the poor groan under the oppression and the innocent are arrogantly and outrageously harassed. God must be asleep. (John Calvin) The 16th century in Europe was a great century of change on many fronts. The humanists and artists of the Renaissance would help characterize the age as one of…

    So it is apparent that the ideas of sex haven’t changed much in all these centuries. Things aren’t kept as secret but many still retain these same thoughts that the Pagan Roman church did. Many don’t think about the personal lives of people in the Middle Ages when looking at this era; they usually focus on wars and religious debates. The significance of knowing this information is that thought the Church set up and tried to enforce strict rules, much of the time those rules were not followed. It makes the people of medieval times, more like actual…

    This happened with the rise of Christianity in ancient Rome. The paintings in the Suburban Baths in the city of Pompeii showed the cultural and social lifestyle of the people staying at that time and illustrate how homosexual culture was widely accepted and absorbed. With the rise of Christianity, the practice started fading slowly, and most people spoke against it. A set of belief and events reset the entire sequence and soon a wave of oppression followed. The region condemned the homosexuality acts which were openly practiced. The act was described as “sinning against nature” ( Percy and Johansson). Up to date, Christianity does not accept the same gender marriage. The rise of Christianity is a remarkable story which shows a progressively tiny group which was prosecuted to an established religion. The few Christians in the ancient Rome were prosecuted more often with death. Emperor Nero targeted and prosecuted Christians in 64 AD (Rockliffe). When the Christians refused to worship the Roman gods, they were hunted like animals. The Christians tried to convert a lot of people, and the numbers eventually grew. While some were rich, the majority were poor because they were promised a good life in heaven. The Roman Empire adopted the Trinitarian Christianity in February 380 as the state religion. The attitude of the same sex marriage changed when the Christianity spread in the Empire. In the 3rd century of the Christian era, male prostitution was banned. Although Christianity was a small group of people, they grew and multiplied and overtook the previous dominant religions. The new religion banned the celebrated homosexuality acts and soon the people’s attitudes…

    The Catholic church, founded around the third century A.D., came into existence under the leadership of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. Since its inception, the reach of the Catholic church has spread the globe and influenced many different lives, peoples, and cultures. Sadly, although its influence may have encouraged and fostered morality among people, it lacked one key component: the truth. The Catholic church and its teachings have been harmful in the advancement of the true Gospel and teachings of God, as people have become deluded in this form of so-called “Christianity.” There are three major areas within the Catholic church where major problems can be pointed out.…
