Starving Third World Masses Warned Against Evils of Contraception
SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL—During a visit to the teeming slums of São Paulo Monday, Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua warned the city's starving masses against the evils of contraception, urging them to "be fruitful and multiply" and do "everything in [their] power" to resist the mortal sin of birth control.
"In Genesis, God commands us to be fruitful and multiply, to fill the Earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish and birds and every other living thing," said Bevilacqua, speaking before more than 200,000 malnourished São Paulo slum dwellers. "It is not for man to decide whether the world should have more babies than it can reasonably support. God will decide whose seed shall find purchase and when."
The gathering, which took place on a muddy hillside crowded with tin-and-tarpaper shacks, was one of many to take place around the world Monday—a day Pope John Paul II declared World Childbirth Day.
"No wonder we are plagued by disease and high infant mortality," said São Paulo father of eight Oranjinho Cruz, speaking from his dilapidated one-room home, which lacks electricity or potable water. "God has been punishing us for trying to prevent the miraculous gift of conception."
In Calcutta, a city where 53 percent of residents are under 18, Catholic missionaries delivered a similar message of love and procreation.
"In this life, there is a right path and a wrong path, and which you take is entirely up to you," said missionary Christopher Halloran, addressing a group of 4,500 villagers crammed into a schoolhouse. "Will you deny God's wisdom by using condoms, or will you shine in the divine light of unprotected sex? The choice is clear."
"God does not want you to choke the rivers of fertile bounty with immoral birth-control pills," continued Halloran, framed by a backdrop of brown, withered crops and skeletal, half-living farm animals. "He wants you to continue expanding your families. If your babies starve, Jesus will forgive them."
The words of Halloran and his fellow missionaries have struck a chord with the impoverished masses of the world.
"We were told we should not use condoms to prevent the spread of HIV," said Luis Ortiz of Bogotá, Colombia. "The man from the Church assured us that the Lord will protect us from disease, provided we are true to His wish that we produce more children than we can possibly care for."
Added Ortiz: "Life in this shantytown is difficult, but our troubles are nothing compared to what we will face in the Lake Of Fire if we try to live within our means and regulate the number of offspring we produce, as Satan teaches."
Though critics have called the Catholic Church's anti-contraception campaign irresponsible and dangerous, particularly in regions where food and medical facilities are scarce, the missionaries remain steadfast in their commitment to fighting the spread of birth control.
"No man-made organization knows God's will," said Atlanta-born missionary Lucas Roberts, 24, handing out Bibles to polio-stricken children in Dhaka, Bangladesh. "His ways are mysterious and noble. All we can do is interpret His words as they appear in the Good Book. And those words clearly state that we have an obligation to shun effective methods of population control."
Responding to critics, Cardinal Bevilacqua said the Catholic Church is not oblivious to the plight of the impoverished, noting that it offers a sanctioned way to postpone the inevitable fruit of God's will.
"For those who want to practice God's natural birth control, there are two options," Bevilacqua said. "You can try abstinence or, if you are married, you can try natural family planning, also known as the rhythm method. This has proven up to 87 percent effective, which is more than suitable for maintaining a reasonable household. So long as no seed is spilled, God will not immediately strike you down."
Bevilacqua also noted that, in cases in which natural family planning fails, unwanted children can be sent to Catholic orphanages, where they will be cared for and groomed to spread word of the punishment awaiting those who impede God's grand biological destiny.

Then I'll f***ing comment. I've never understood the Catholic Church's stance on the alleged evil of contraception, among other things. Those who advocate "be fruitful and multiply" might as well be telling the poor that poverty is all right, as long as you have a large family. It's one thing if people choose on their own to have many kids, but to have the church's hierarchy telling its members that they MUST procreate is (or should be) a sin!

Okay, fair enough mate, I'll comment too. I agree with you 100%. It's a shite, pointless and outdated law. You might just have well have people preaching against sinners because they don't burn their ox on a Sunday as they should do and stone their wife if she shags another bloke. People in certain organisation pick these ridiculous, antiquated half laws out of obscurity and use them for their own purposes. There is no sense to most of what any church preaches because said organisations only exist to keep people under control. When people started realising what a bag of proveable shit religion was and how it had hi-jacked human spirituality for thousands of years they invented conventional science to replace it. I do not see the point for churches. Groups where people celebrate their spirituality yes, definatley! But churches of any kind are hi-jackers who claim that only by following their ridiculous dogma can you avoid the flames of hell. As far as I'm concerned, I can communicate with the Divine without having to go through a 15%'er in a silly dress.

I would like to officially apologise to Venray for hi-jacking his thread, and I would also like to disown any part I may have played in any religious debate.
That last lightning bolt from above was too close for comfort, so I'm not taking any chances...

Then BigJim should be a moderator--he's only a few posts behind Ven now!
Now that is a subject I could post a 40,000 word thread on!!!
Sadly I don't think it's on the cards. I think I'm too off the wall to be considered safe enough to be a mod around here.venray1 said:

(For those who are confused by that comment, Czar can be spelt either C-Z-A-R or T-S-A-R, unlike Myriads mehtod which mixed them both together. ) And since when could you not be a mod Ray? You already are over at Paladin's site.
