1st - 2nd Century Church Fathers don’t affirm contemporary attitudes toward sex between married couples

clearly fell under the sway of Gnostic weirdos and must therefore be wrong, clear up until Martin Luther set the record straight when Christianity starts to agree more with contemporary attitudes about sex

See, arguments like this are super suspicious, to me. Were I so inclined, I’d be looking for explanations that didn’t do violence to the integrity of the Early Church in an obvious attempt at rebuilding the Faith to affirm my own preferences.

For some reason I don’t personally share those same attitudes as Saints like Clement, as regards marital sex. It just really hasn’t come up irl, only in online debates with dudes trying to find a bone to pick with the Traditional Communions. I just don’t don’t think anyone has such stringent expectations in today’s world.
