This female emancipation has of course exposed just how the sexual ancien regime in practice (not theory) assumed gender double standards. And how far in practice the laity combined theological with different honour codes and tacitly saw this combination as perfectly Christian.

A Christianization or blessing of brotherhood making ceremonies (which are to be found in many cultures) is not the same as a modern day same-sex civil union (or marriage).
And although Jonathan Boswell’s research was largely fantasy, more careful studies (eg The Friend, forget author) have shown certain pre-modern ecclesial recognitions of the special sanctity of certain friendships - albeit not seen as sexual.

Say stupid things on Twitter, discredit your school of theology (radical orthodoxy). This is what Milbank has done to himself.
There are certainly some (but all evil actions only bad as deficient) though I have say that I think seeing artificial contraception as one of them is plain bonkers. It was already accepted by several 19thC bishops and this ‘rigorism’ re-surfaced for weird reasons.

For Latins, Humanae Vitae closed this discussion, but it is still an open discussion among Chalcedonian Orthodox jurisdictions. What do the other Apostolic Churches teach?
