how did we get here?

apparently, the beautiful woman whose naked pics are the download du jour is a "Good Roman Catholic" who has remained a virgin and opposes abortion.... how did we get here? that a human would be able to think (and act!) clearly on certain points while being out of it on other--just as obvious--points.... excerpt

The GQ interview includes the following curious points:

I take it you’re religious?

Yes! I am Catholic. [she pulls out the cardboard scapular hanging around her neck, under her big gray sweater]

Wow. A scapular. Do you go to church?

Of course! Every Sunday.

Is there anything in the teachings of the Catholic Church that you don’t agree with?

No.

Are you pro-life?

What do you mean, pro-life?

How do you feel about abortion?

I think it’s a crime.

[. . .]

Are you a one-guy woman?

Of course! I’m a Catholic.


Look, I’m Catholic, too, but there’s a lot of things about the church that make it hard to date within its rules, don’t you think?

Like what?

Birth control, premarital sex…

Well, you know, sex is just for after marriage.

Say what?

Sex is for after marriage.

Are you saying you’re not going to have sex before marriage?

Exactly.

You mean you’ve never had sex?

That’s why I have to say.

You sure about this?

Yes.

How do men respond to the fact that you plan to, you know, wait?

I don’t care. They have to respect that this is my choice. If there’s no respect, that means they don’t want me.

As the movies say, "No animals harmed in making of this movie." I've viewed no images of this woman... i read about this here, where the author concludes:
"Having been raised as a Catholic boy, I can sadly say that I think I understand how she got to this weird point of being the naked porn fantasy of men across the world while simultaneously being devoutly committed to sexual chastity before marriage. It seems that she only sees sins of commission and does not understand sins of omission. This explains why she is proud of not committing the sin of fornication (sex before marriage, for anyone to whom that is a new f-word). And it also explains why she does not see her sin of omitting her clothes from her body as a sin. Apparently, she does not see lust as a sin but does see sex as a sin, which is the kind of theological reasoning one would expect from a supermodel."

Finally, from rob.... Lord, have mercy on me for my blindness
have mercy on us for our blindness
