For Fernández, since women are “more receptive” than men, they would be “better willing to let themselves be taken by God” and be “more open to religious experience.” Then he theorizes about the relationship of this supposed receptivity with female attendance at churches: “This may be why women predominate in temples.”
In chapter 8, “The path to orgasm,” the current prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith refers to what he calls “intoxicating experiences of God” in the lives of some saints.
Among them, he mentions Saint Therese of Lisieux: “Saint Therese of Jesus, although she felt tenderly loved by God, never had very ‘sensual’ experiences of his love, and it seems that she only achieved an overflowing and passionate joy at the moment of her death, when his face was transfigured and he said his last words: ‘I love you, oh my God, I love you!'”
In chapter 9, “God in the couple’s orgasm,” as a continuation of what he considered a reflection “on the possibility of reaching a kind of fulfilling orgasm in our relationship with God,” Fernández assures that “God comes to touch the soul-corporeal center of pleasure, so that a satisfaction that encompasses the entire person is experienced.”
