Without THESE CONDOMS AND PILLS we will have more UNWANTED CHILDREN AND OUR OWN CHILDREN DYING OF AIDS and more ABORTIONS. Is that what the pope wants? In essence that is what he and the Catholic Church are saying, ‘we want more DISEASES AND UNWANTED, ABUSED CHILDREN and ABORTIONS.’ I for one do not think that is what Jesus wants. He wouldn’t care about this stuff. He would say, ‘HAVE SEX and enjoy life.’ That’s what this is really all about; living a full and active life. What does some eighty year old man in Rome know about SEX?”"<BR/><BR/><BR/>I think I could rewrite this entire post just substituing the rhetoric employed by UN and Planned Parenthood.<BR/><BR/>Was that what you were getting at?Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-15448077371198681822007-05-14T17:34:00.000-07:002007-05-14T17:34:00.000-07:00I was going to play it cool and pretend I didn't f...I was going to play it cool and pretend I didn't fall for it.

It also doesn't line up with the title, as it usually does.. I'll look again tomorrow, and read the whole thing."<BR/><BR/>That something that didn't make sense even in brain-sleep, was that moms who cherish their kids would neither accept the status quo of such a thing, nor would they send their precious children out into it all --they'd homeschool. And there was no way the Pope would blow it off/minimize it to practicalities, either! I haven't been keeping tabs on his visit, but I'm wondering if on Wednesday, you will show us how dangerously the media will have skewed what he <I>did</I> say.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it in Brazil that there are orphaned/unwanted children living/hiding from "civil" snipers in the sewers? If anyone wants a picture of hell to muse on, and who perhaps believes the Holocaust is imagination, or that civil rights are exclusive, one can hardly do better than to read of children being hunted down in sewers.. or in parts of Africa.. <BR/><BR/>CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-21565985498250362872007-05-14T09:06:00.000-07:002007-05-14T09:06:00.000-07:00Fr.

I consider myself a good and obedient Catholic but as a mother of 2 boys (late teens, early 20's), I would have a hard time following the Pope's suggestion. I certainly would not allow my boys to carry guns or teach them to retaliate but I would allow them to wear a vest to protect themselves. I would encourage them to work with other students and teachers to try and find a solution to the problem. But until then protect yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
