Tuesday, June 07, 2005 Pope Condemns Contraceptives & Gays Pope Benny does what he does best: makes outlandish claims that certain things pose terrible threats to hetero marriage. For example: the Pope said couples went against the nature of love itself when they "systematically shut off" the possibility of "the gift of life" by using contraceptives. Nooo... my husband and I are keeping our marriage happy, content, and economically viable by limiting the number of children we conceive. Good God, if you conceived as many times as is humanly possible, you would never have time to devote to your relationship w/your spouse, you would both be stressed to maximum levels b/c of having a house full of children, and you would be forced to feed them Ramen noodles and water 3 times a day b/c you'd be too poor to afford anything else. When the Pope has a mortgage, college educations, braces, the responsibilties of raising and disciplining children, & retirement to consider, then he can tell me to not use artificial birth control... until then... he can zip it. I'm not alone either... 81% of married Catholics agree w/me on birth control. |
