Comments on: Catholics To Pope: Lift Birth Control Ban

Dissident Catholic Groups Publish Letter Citing "Catastrophic Effects" Of Church's Ban

[daysrnumbrd]

I suspect most of you on this board are hypocrites in several manners. Imagine that you declared all of your moral positions to the word... ...Then imagine that everything you said and did was published. What would the world think of you and your morals and your moral conviction?

Well, if you are trying to put us, on this board, in the same context as the Catholic Church, we would have to force people to follow our individual moral choices, but in order to do that (in the context of the Catholic Church, as you are trying to associate)...

...first, we would have to gather a bunch of old white men who are supposedly "celibate" (LOL)... dress them up in cockamamie ornate costumes... devise a bunch of cockamamie rules outside of the 10 commandments yet creative enough to remind our said followers that when they ask "whose yo daddy"... everyone points to the old white man in the tall, white pointy cap.

Of course, we would also need to make sure that we have huge influence over political leaders and the decisions they make for their people.

And that is just for starters.

By the way, your condescending tone
is typical of the "better" Roman Catholics.

I wonder how many of you have actually READ Humanae Vitae? Don''''t pretend to know anything about the Church''''s stance by what you read in the press. Read it...THEN comment.

So again, what is the churches stance on
men that F__k underage boys?

Would these men be criminals?

Or does the Bible say it''s cool
as long as they are priests?

Go forth and multiply!

As for the Church''''s stance on contraception, I wonder how many of you have actually READ Humanae Vitae? Don''''t pretend to know anything about the Church''''s stance by what you read in the press. Read it...THEN comment.

1. Sorry, I don''t have the time (or inclination), to read the writings of an overrated minister of a particular religion.

2. What is there to read that the vast majority of the population already knows? The Vatican is officially against contraception. The dissident Catholic group (rightly) says that is a bad stance to take in this day and age.

3. Speaking of "this day and age", with the world population at its current count, and current growth rate... the old mindset (and biblical passage) of "be fruitful and multiply... no longer carries any logic. Thus, if the planet is to survive and still be able to sustain a huge population, then humanity must be logical and procreate sparingly!

Much confusion on this board. First let''s address the image of the Church and of Catholics as hypocrites and pedophiles.

I suspect most of you on this board are hypocrites in several manners. Imagine that you declared all of your moral positions to the word: perhaps that lying is wrong, or stealing, or over-eating, or whatever. Then imagine that everything you said and did was published. What would the world think of you and your morals and your moral conviction?

As for the pedophiles priests.....are all school teachers also pedophiles? Are all cops racist, violent, and "above the law"? If I got all of my information from the news, I''d believe so. Never mind that 99.99% of all of them are INNOCENT...it''s the bad apples getting the press. While we''re on the topic, would anyone like to explain why it seems like almost ALL of the priest-pedophile cases are homosexual in nature and what that MIGHT say about homosexuality?

As for the Church''s stance on contraception, I wonder how many of you have actually READ Humanae Vitae? Don''t pretend to know anything about the Church''s stance by what you read in the press. Read it...THEN comment.

Please try out for the next season
of "Last Comic Standing".

Your material with a rap song in the
background would be very funny.

Now let''s get something straight;

Nobody tells the Pope what to do.

Not even God.

[daysrnumbrd]

The Catholic church has a problem... Islam is catching up to them in terms of population quickly. The Pope needs to do everything possible to ensure that Catholics rule the world, and that certainly cannot be done with a dwindling population due to birth control!

(LOL)

[daysrnumbrd]

Oh, here we go again.

CBS, lighten up...uncensored with the word S*EX...again! Can''''t we have an adult conversation here?

No.

Because if you use the word *** on this board, you are going to hell!

(LOL)

[keithle1]

Birth control is a bad thing?

The world''s population is not growing fast enough for the precious Pope?

You have to be pretty stupid to let the Catholic Church have this much power over your life. Poor women popping out babies like a Coca Cola vending machine that they can''t afford to feed/raise. Just puts them deeper & deeper into endless poverty & misery.

Screw the Pope & screw the Catholic Church. What are they good for? Who cares what they say?

Find me a doctor anywhere in the world who thinks women should never use birth control.

"The usual answer from the Catholic cult said something like this..."our members shouldn''''t be having s*ex outside or marriage, so we just don''''t condone use of condoms.
"

[aggiekat2004]

This issue was addressed shortly after AIDS started becoming a problem, and the church was asked to re-evaluate their stand on birth control in light of AIDS.

The usual answer from the Catholic cult said something like this..."our members shouldn''t be having *** outside or marriage, so we just don''t condone use of condoms.

Like friggin'' ostriches. The Catholic cult IS the root of a lot of poor countries'' problems.

Most educated Catholics already practice contraception. This requires personal responsibility. They want a good home, retirement savings and the ability to put their children through college.

If you are willing to settle for a chaotic lifestyle where you are scratching out a living to feed an ever-increasing family size, then go for it.

"..The forced abortion program in China shows the stark extreme toward which governments will take population programs..."

We should start the program here in the US starting today.

"I understood that the purpose of sexual activity is to create more humans, not for recreation"

Yea right and the people doing it in the supply room are there to have kids to. Who ever wrote that post needs to get a grip on the real world. Of every woman I know less then 1 percent are interested in having kids. Most just do it for sport or practice and some need lots of practice.

"An 80 year old celebate has A LOT of wisdom to offer on this issue." Posted by cmoreau2
~~~~~~~~
Possibly; however, there probably are no 80 year old celebates in the Catholic Church. The only thing Priests do that most of the rest of the population do is they do NOT get married. Instead, they have housekeepers, altar boys and all the same avenues everyone else uses to hookup.

So you think they wear that collar 24 hours a day.

Signed: a survivor of a Catholic childhood and a Catholic education.

We should be very thankful that the Chinese government had taken such a stand on the limiting of child bearing! If they hadn''t, their population... which is already more than 3 BILLION PEOPLE... would be many times more than that. Thus the resources of this planet to accommodate such a population explosion would be immense and unsustainable, causing more wars and even more violent deaths.

Ah, but the facts about humans and the need for resources greatly escape the (small) minds of the religious fundaMENTALists!

You misunderstood.

[irliberal]

People listen to the pope? Heh... that''s an amazingly disturbing thought all by itself.
