It’s in the interests of authoritarian religious movements for people to be a. ignorant b. poor, and c. young (i.e. keep life expectancy down). Overpopulation will do this, while birth control will tend to produce a society that is richer, better educated, longer-lived, and less likely to listen to the priest. Or mullah.

I lived in the PH for some time and while abortion isn’t readily available, condoms can be found in pharmacies and birth control pills can easily be obtained by prescription and picked up at any pharmacy. I never even thought about someone saying something about it being “immoral” and my wife didn’t have any qualms, though she’s non-practicing.

If the catholic church itself cannot claim self-discipline, they should not claim to teach it, and they should not claim their followers have it.

With most of the world getting wise to their idiotic religion, the Church has a need to populate these credulous regions with as many future congregates as they possibly can. Their dictates are nothing less than good business.

Damn those pseudo-celibate (priests with girlfriends is the norm here) bastards! Most of the people here are dirt poor, and the government just doesn’t have the resources to care for most of them. And the church thinks we need more people to suffer? I think we need to TAX churches. See if they’ll suddenly support the separation of church and state.
