I didn't really care about this game but the outcry against it and the premise of fighting a demon with a fire breathing dick has bought me over.
I'm going to hell, and I'm gonna love it.

Basically, the Catholic teaching on this goes as follows (simplified, obviously, because otherwise this would take even longer).
There are four types of love: Philia, the love of friendship; Storge, the love of family, Eros, the love of romance, and Agape, an all encompassing general love which can be translated as a number of things, but is probably best defined by John 3:16.
Out of these, the one we're interested in is Eros. Now, Eros is romantic love, but, and this is the important bit, it does not have to be sexual. It is also used to describe the love philosophers have for truth, etc.
Popular conception is that the Catholic teaching is that sex is inherently sinful and so on: nothing could be further from the truth. On the contrary, to quote from the Catechism of the Catholic Church: "Everyone, man and woman, should acknowledge and accept his sexual identity." The previous Pope also went on record as saying that a man has a duty to his wife to bring her to orgasm during intercourse.
The point being that human sexuality is seen as a God-given gift to humanity, and like all of God's gifts, it should not be abused. It is cumulation of a relationship bound by Eros and holy matrimony, and should be used for its intended purpose, which was, as you stated, "to reproduce".
We now move on to Lust. Lust is defined as the "disordered desire for or inordinate enjoyment of sexual pleasure. Sexual pleasure is morally disordered when sought for itself, isolated from its procreative and unitive purposes." This is considered a sin, as it shows a disrespect both for others and for God, by objectifying them and treating his gifts with contempt.
As La Divina Commedia was written under the influence of a Catholic society, this is presumably what Dante would have considered Lust to be, and written accordingly.
First off, that is fairly hilarious
I think it's kind of interesting they have put all this nudity stuff in, make a change for gaming
And great title btw, mods better not change it

It's the difference between "The Exorcist" and "Disney". This is a mature game for a mature audience, lets not insult peoples intelligence, we should all be past "lolboobs" and start thinking about creating the atmosphere that one would expect of a game set in HELL!ianrocks6495 said:

I'm amazed anyone is still offended by willies.
I'm more offended by the demon babies, not because you kill them but because I hate babies.

Now I have to get all of the noddy thoughts this thread has caused me to have.
Which is a lot.
Dammit.
(Still, a penis monster? *Light chuckles coming from my direction*)
Wait, lust is.. BAD!? Oh, well.. I'm going to hell for sure now. I'll take succubi over shiny men in robes any day.Trilby said:
That boss battle sounds like the most hilarious thing since conker's bad fur day. I bet they make him really difficult (not going to fall into the trap of saying hard) just to force players to replay over and over with his dong taunting them.
