ABSTRACT

The fullness of the human person is how the body is expressed in the world, which should be pushed to include and consider the dynamics of sex and sexuality, and their relationship therein as mutually establishing each other. This chapter is an indecent consideration of sex, that is, the erotic, and sexuality, that is the proclivity to engage in the erotic as liberative actions that seek to promote the flourishing of the human person via the emancipation from restrictive sexual ideologies. It connects these liberative sexual actions with natural theologies of sacrament, which argue that the very biblical idea of God is intricately connected to actions of human liberation. The chapter mines the queer possibilities of sacramental theology, especially as it relates to the embodied experience of God-in-history. Finally, the chapter shows two paradoxical themes of a new embodied sacramentality: that there is only one sacrament: human liberation; and despite there being only one sacrament, its historical manifestations are infinite.
