World to Pope: Turn over all the pedophiles that hide behind Rome. Never again pay hush money to hide the churches embarassment. And denounce these criminals for what they are.

Technically, the RCC allows use of burth control in two forms: abstinence and the rhythm method.
People are theoretically only supposed to have sexx with their spouse and only for the purpose of having children, but if spouses must have sexx without trying to have a baby, they have to do it without contraception when the woman is not in the right time of the month.
People who practice the rhythm method are commonly known as "mommy and daddy."
This policy is intended to make more Catholics, but "catastrophic effects" is an understatement.

When Martin Luther posted his grievances he had no intention of starting a movement. Yet, he tapped into an intense dissatisfaction with the Catholic hierarchy. People understood all too well how corrupt the church had become and Martin Luther lit the match to the fuse.

The Catholic Church, at the top, is morally corrupt. They have barely moved from their misogynist roots, and like a lot of religions, have bent and corrupted Jesus'' teachings. They took their 13th century ideals and continue to propagate them even though multitudes of religious scholars see no biblical support for them. (i.e., only men can become priests.)

If the so-called radicals of the Catholic Church want to change the church leave the church and start another one. After all, Islam was partially started because they felt Judaism and Christianity had failed God''s Word.

Are the dissidents saying that aids is spread by people who refuse to use contraceptives because it is against church teaching and yet have intimate relations with no compunction or impunity?
