Metanoia is appropriate for a people who "repent and believe," not who fall back into sexual sin.
We have to trust Jesus to give us the grace to live a holy and chaste life.

nostr:npub1n4s8ga4uu8af8aphl8rscs9nxtgh3vpl6seqsgq79dv6ptr6j9eqdpvsnn Perhaps I am still not understanding. Why is metanoia not appropriate for all people?
If by metanoia you mean "a change of mind," there is no virtue in that alone.
The virtue of metanoia is changing from wrong to right, from evil to good. It's not change for its own sake.
With regard to sexual morality, we already know what is right and wrong. To deviate from the Church's constant teaching here is to deviate from truth in a serious way, leading to mortal sin -- which leads to hell.
