Not too sure about the backwards vulgarity in the place of a supposed German proverb. Is the whole proverb sentance fake, or was just the proverb itself changed ?
Well, I will vote for deletion, as there is no citation.
[edit] reference for content research
here is a reference from googling this phrase: Spiritual Marriage: Sexual Abstinence in Medieval Wedlock by Elliot, D., published by Princeton University Press --Unfocused 21:47, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
There still needs to be much more citation. Please refer to Wikipedia's guidelines on citation as well as neutral point of view. Explain who holds a certain opinion, and why, along with a citation. It is not enough to claim that a view is held, it must be more fully explained. EvilPhoenix
- Please feel free to add whatever you feel is lacking, or tag the article for cleanup. I put in a starting point and gave a reference work to prove that it's a valid article unworthy of deleting. I also explained on the VfD page why I don't intend to go further right now. I have other interests to consume my time. --Unfocused 21:56, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Josephite
Although the name may come from Joseph and Mary, most protestants would regard that as a misnomer. (see the biblical references to Jesus's brothers and sisters - some take this literally, others want to believe that Mary remained a Virgin and so reinterpret these references).

[edit] Expansion
Should be more info about the history of early Christianity, when the Gnostics were even more ascetic than the orthodox Christians. AnonMoos 17:39, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
