Re: Catholics handing out condoms in Lucerne

This is absolutely shameful on the part of these lost sheep in the valley of darkness to be promoting such anti-catholicism practices! It's a slippery slope lined with velcro towards a hellish secular society, where greed is king and where the fulfillment of personal gain, innate needs and desires is persued at any cost and by any means possoble! Absolutely disgraceful! The righteous man can no longer shepherd the weak and is forced to join them!

Ah what the heck!

Or if those paedophile priests started using condoms there would be less under-age pregnancies and hence less evidence to convict them on, which is of course in the Church's best interest.

Re: Catholics handing out condoms in Lucerne

They're probably handing ones out with tiny holes in them to make sure that world domination is still going to happen through demographics. Can't trust, won't trust. Too many years of collecting taxes and controlling people by using the name of God to give it up. Call me cynical.....

Possibly, although I think male impregnation has yet to happen despite the best efforts of the clergy. I doubt that will deter them from keep trying though, they believe in miracles afterall

Speaking as a lifelong Catholic, it's about [EXPLETIVE] time. They'll probably be ordered to stop, however by a bishop or somebody higher up the food chain in the Vatican.

Re: Catholics handing out condoms in Lucerne

I suppose this is news here (well, obviously it is) BUT when I was going to Confirmation classes back in high school (when I was 16'ish), some of the classes actually mirrored some of the chapters we had on sex education in health class.

Of course, AIDS was "new" back then and everyone was all freaked out (being much more immediate a death sentence back then than it is now) so we received information on all sorts of methods of contraception. Of course, the big recommendation was for abstinence but we were given information on condom usage as well as spermicide as ways to prevent the spread of AIDS.

Our mentor priest was quite young though so perhaps the wild days of his youth were a bit nearer (and dearer ) a memory than for some of the more aged (and influential) pontiffs elsewhere.
