THE ROMAN WORLD of the first four centuries, A.D., had inherited this dualistic view of sex from the Greeks. But even though this concept was generally assumed, we must not suppose that the expanding Roman Catholic Church neglected to refine, and in specific terms define the interpretation as a dogma. It was Augustine, who lived 354-430, who first translated this general Hellenistic attitude into definite terms of theological doctrine. He was the real father of the Catholic teaching on sex. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
