Of birth controls and religion

The rules being followed by the bishops are those written by Padre Damaso. LOL. When abacus is being used for addition and subtraction, they can't see that the rules is no longer applicable in computer age. Controlling birth gives the family to enjoy the whole piece of pie. A threat of denying a communion doesn't affect our lawmakers for they don't know the road to church.

Religion set apart,logically speaking how could a group of unmarried, financially supported by the Church and not having monthly bills because you own nothing men understand the need for birth control. On the simplest and most basic level one cannot expect these people who live in a not to mention underpopulated city (Vatacan City) to feel the strain of the average family. Across the world the looming food shortages, in creasing gas prices and competition for living spaces are overwhelming. Families are just not able to provide for an additional mouth. Maybe in this progressive world we live in it may suit them then, to solve all of the other co-dependent problems of the world if we were to surrender this necessity ?

I live in Canada which is a developed Nation. One of the reasons Canada is a developed nation is because we have separated Church and State. The Catholic Religion does not care about over populating a country. Catholic Churches in Canada are being closed because there are not enough Catholics to fill them. Also its becoming very difficult for the Catholic Church to attract enough Priests. People in Developed countries are not as Religious as those in underdeveloped countries. The Church as a business does not encourage its people to use Birth control and be happy in Life. They want every baby possible no matter how negatively it effects the Parents.

For the last question, my answer is NO, I didn't even see a congressman in person, hehe. My opinion with regards to the Holy Communion is to allow everybody to receive it. I think everyone being a Christian and considered as children of God has the right to receive the body and blood of Christ, and I don't even agree with some of the priest's who are refusing to let illegitimate children to receive Holy Communion, after all its not their fault to be born outside marriage.

I really think that the church should open their eyes on the reality that all of us are facing right now. They're too closed minded to accept that methods as such should really be used (except abortion of course) to control population simply because the resources in this world are really not enough anymore to feed more and more people. Also I think that it's a worse sin if you produce a lot of children only that in the end you don't have enough to feed them or you don't raise them well because you can't handle them all. Regarding about giving communion, well I think that even before this controversial bill the politicians here shouldn't be given because most of the mare corrupt.

I really think the Catholic church has bigger problems to worry about than couples trying to limit the number of their children. (Sighs...) For a predominantly Catholic nation with tons of religious people we sure are a screwed up nation. Why can't the Catholic church stop Catholic political leaders from thieving? Last time I checked "Do Not Steal" is still part of the 10 commandments. I have had it with the Catholic church and do not consider myself Catholic anymore even if I was baptized one. My in-laws are frustrated (they are devout Catholics) but I don't see any sense in going to a church that instead of focusing on love, sharing, and all those Christian values insist on implementing STUPID rules.

This is were I also b set aside my catholic faith as I truly believe that we need to control population as it has a big impact on the way our economy is slowed down by overpopulation. I think the church should reconsider their stand on it or must allow the government to do the necessary action to solve this ballooning population we have. I grew up with my parents believing about family planning and it did had an impact on us as we were able to cope with our education as we were only two in the family and we practically grew comfortable though not financially rich but we were able to survive and finish our schoolings in time. I could not imagine if we were a big family back then.

they should just shut their mouth and stop meddling on something that if given to them wont take the responsibility of, they want more babies, alright they should feed them, these people only talk the talk but doesnt walk the walk, ive once see a beggar got chase out of the church by a security guard because the priest told him to do so, wow what an amazing display of holiness, so what if they wont give communion, what is that anyway, do you really believe that your own salvation relies solely on that ritual, what do these priest think people are, stupid, that they can scare into denying commonsense and just accept whatever they said just by denying them communions, and there was also that priest, forgot the name, and i think its not worth remembering anyway,that said that the government should stop giving those 500 pesos monthly subsidies coz it will only encourage those that are given it into relying into charities rather than working, for the first time the government finally shares its loots, it aint that much but atleast theyre sharing some, and that priest wants to deny them that much needed amount of money,that priest who is recieving a monthly salary and probly from a well to do family since becoming a priest aint cheap, wants the government to stop giving those people subsidies, those people who sometimes get their meal out of the trash, wow, who the f word do these people think they are, whats the use that a priest has anyway, a streetsweeper has more use to us than a priest
