Paul John Paul badmouths happy people
• Religious Meddlers, Do-gooders
The Roman Catholic Church continues its run of naοve but hurtful statements about sexuality. This isn't as zany as the recent Cardinals but it is from the decaying pontiff himself:
Vatican City - Pope John Paul II criticized the media on Saturday, saying they often give a positive depiction of extramarital sex, contraception, abortion and homosexuality that is harmful to society.
Poor silly old fool. The acceptance of sex outside of the jailhouse that marriage is for many people, or before settling down to a life of fidelity was one of the greatest achievements of the last century. Much nicer than, say, the atomic bomb. Possibly because of safe, reliable, available contraceptives.
"Infidelity, sexual activity outside of marriage, and the absence of a moral and spiritual vision of the marriage covenant are depicted uncritically, while positive support is at times given to divorce, contraception, abortion and homosexuality. Such portrayals, by promoting causes inimical to marriage and the family, are detrimental to the common good of society."
Spoken like a lifetime virgin.
