Quote of the Day

A reporter asked Cardinal Francis George of Chicago in a news conference last week whether the church would consider approving the use of condoms to prevent AIDS in places like Africa.

"Your solution is to exterminate the poor?" he said, referring to the births that contraception would prevent. "The doctrine of the church isn't going to change, and so you work with it as best as you can."

Say what? Let me get this right - using some latex to prevent sperm from meeting egg is exterminating poor people?

The Catholic church thinks it's more important to have new Catholic babies born then to try and prevent HIV infections.

In other news, Cardinal Law, from Boston, celebrated Mass at St. Peters today. Remember, he's the one responsible for shuttling the pedophilia priests from parish to parish for years. That's what the Vatican thinks about the whole issue.

If you're white, live in an affluent suburb, make really good money, are heterosexual, are married, have kid(s) that haven't been molested, I could maybe see going to Catholic mass. There's really no bizarre church doctrine that impacts you negatively.

For everyone else - run!

Official Catholic policy is -causing- the extermination of poor people. I mean, is there any other way to interpret that? Just curious...
