catechism and piercings

This is a link of someone asking the question to a Father. Hope it helps.

1 Cor 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

What catechism would this be? There r quite a few of them.
And, alas, most r the product of complete retards.

Frankly, the Holy Babble, nor the Holy See has much to say about this abominable practice & u wo not get much help consulting a Greek Orthodox Priest either.

However, I consulted a Rabbi on the subject & he said ''Body piercings? Oy Gevalt! What is the world coming to? Next they will have rainbow Yarmulkes & the tallit [prayer cloth] will be made out of hemp. No daughter of mine better get pierced, esp. on her naughty bits. As far as my son, who cares!.. he joined the Hare Krishnas & has a ring in his nose & probably one on his tukhes [butt].''

So here u have probably more wisdom than in all the Christian catechisms.

I also decided to get the viewpoint of Eastern religions so consulted a Buddhist Nun. She showed me most of her 32 piercings except the one on her butt & said ''Oh, the Buddha says that piercing is OK as long as the pain does not interfere with mediation & contemplation of ones navel which is why the Buddha expressly forbade belly button piercings. All others r OK. Tattoos r groovy too if u can afford them'' & showed me her tattoo of the supreme mantra Om Mani Padme Hum on her left hip nicely done in the Pali script.
