This approach relies on reason and doesn't ask anyone to assume Catholicism's position is right to begin with.


Q. Why do you eat and have a digestive system?


A. To stay alive.


Q. Is staying alive the primary purpose of eating?


A. Eating has many purposes (enjoyment, appetite, health and life), but life is the main reason we eat.


Q. Is it unnatural to eat for all purposes except life? In other words, is bulimia, eating deadly poison for no good reason, eating plastic bags etc a bad thing?


A. Yes.


Q. So it is ok to enjoy the secondary purposes, but we can not do so at the expense of the primary purpose?


A. Yes.


Q. What is the sexual faculty for?


A. Life.


Then the argument continues as above.
