We are chilled out.

Pity he couldn't say priests are allowed to marry and woman can become priests.

What's the catholic church's message to a dad who makes $7/hour and already has five kids? It is "Go ahead, have another kid."
It's just stupid in todays world.

This Pope is completely full of ****.
I guess we should all leave then.

How can anyone be quietly supportive of anything? Either you support it, or you don't. Toleration, separate but equal, etc doesn't work. You have to come out and say it.

Tolerant of what? We have multiple different issues under this one thread. To which issue are you referring?

That's nice but it is almost irrelevant. The (pro birth control) message needs to go to all the 2nd and 3rd world catholic countries for which that 6th and 7th kid is a bit of a burden on the family and that country's infrastructure.

Poor Predominantly Catholic Countries - coincidence? or is something about the Catholic Church?
