[QUOTE="FreeInChrist88, post: 59858996, member: 237604"] I read somewhere that much of the Church's aversion to nudity started with St. Augustine. Prior to his conversion to Christianity, Augustine had an illegitimate son and then lived with the boy's mother out of wedlock for 15 years. According to what I read, once he converted, he adopted a godly view of sexuality. But more than that, he went over board by creating all kinds of taboos. Apparently nudity was one of those taboos. I guess he believed that nudity = sex. I understand that the prior to Augustine, many water baptisms were conducted in the nude. Just to be clear, I'm only echoing something I read. And I can't even recall where I saw it. I haven't adequately researched the issue so I'm not sure how much of it is true. I would be very interested to hear from someone who has looked into this and find out if there is any validity to the Augustine origins. [/QUOTE]
