April 18, 200519 yr comment_474396 and how would that be? what's driving the church back to the 1tth century to you? 746494[/snapback] nothing yet.  granted right now the church is somewhere in the 14th century.  but with ratzinger being more hardcore conservative than jp II he will drive the church backwards in terms of modernity.

April 18, 200519 yr comment_474400 nothing wrong with the rituals. adds a sense of history, continuity, importance. Â about birth control, what's wrong with it? if people don't want to get inffected with HIV and other sex transmitted viruses then they shouldn't be sleeping around and only have sex with the person they are married with. they wouldn't have any problems if they did that.

April 19, 200519 yr comment_474407 yep ... i feel blessed everytime someone has more kids than they can support I love the thought process behind NFP, where using a thermometer to get a reading from inside a woman every day, and then charting it and scheduling all activity around this chart and then hoping that there are not mishaps is more acceptable than just wearing a condom both techniques are designed to prevent sperm from hitting a fertile egg, both are relatively safe ... but one is deemed wrong for some unknown reason Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/27409-place-your-bets-now-on-the-new-pope/?&do=findComment&comment=474407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
