The Vatican, that wonderful institution of homosexuals and pedophiles says to the world: “Be fruitful and multiply.” Never mind that you already have ten children; never mind that you can’t provide food and shelter for them; never mind that. The important thing is that you reproduce and indoctrinate them while young and in so doing create more Catholics.
No, some people will say. The Catholic Church isn’t condoning that, they believe in “family planning” through the use of the “rhythm method” of birth control. Yeah right, as if the rhythm method was fail-proof. That method depends on the timeliness of a woman’s menstrual cycle, and not all women are “regular,” especially as they age, which is the worst time for a woman to get pregnant as the likelihood of health problems for her and her offspring increase dramatically.
Isn’t it both ironic and ridiculous that a bunch of old men who supposedly live a life of celibacy are telling the world how and when to have sex? This is the same group of clowns who cannot even prevent their own priests from having sex with nuns, not to mention with other people’s children!
The hypocrisy of this organization, combined with the ignorance of the masses who support it, is enough to make one sick. TGO

VATICAN CITY – The Italian publisher of a new book on Catholic Church teaching fixed a translation error that implied the Vatican approved of contraception with an insert Wednesday that stresses traditional church teaching on sex.
The book “YouCat,” a youth-focused compilation of key church teachings, was presented to Pope Benedict XVI at his general audience Wednesday and officially launched at a Vatican news conference.
On the eve of the presentation, officials confirmed that Nuova Citta, the Italian publisher of “YouCat,” had pulled the Italian copies to fix the error, which concerned whether married couples could plan the size of their families.
The editions handed out Wednesday crossed out the erroneous passage and included a paper insert with the correct translation. But at the news conference, another translation problem in the Italian edition was pointed out to the organizers concerning euthanasia, and officials said the French editions had been delayed because of errors in the French translation.
The Vatican opposes artificial contraception, holding that life begins at conception. The church does, however, condone what it calls natural family planning, in which married couples chart the changes in a woman’s menstrual cycle to determine when she might, or might not, conceive.
It’s the second time in a year that translation problems have muddied church teaching on contraception. In November, the Vatican’s own publishing house mistranslated the pope’s comments about condoms and AIDS, implying that condom use for prostitutes was justified in some cases.
The mistake made headlines since it indicated the church had softened its firm opposition to artificial contraception. The Vatican insisted Pope Benedict XVI was doing no such thing.
“YouCat” makes clear that the Catholic Church still opposes condoms, the pill and other forms of artificial contraception.
But in the Italian copy of the book, which is set out as a series of questions and answers with commentary, the initial question is mistranslated. In the original German, the question concerns whether married couples can “regulate conception.”
The answer reads: “Yes, a Christian married couple may and should be responsible in using the gift and privilege of transmitting life.”
In the Italian, however, the original question wasn’t translated as “regulate conception,” but rather whether married couples could “use contraceptive methods.” The answer remained the same, an affirmative yes, implying that the Church was sanctioning contraception.
“YouCat” was prepared in an initial 17 languages to be handed out to participants at the church’s World Youth Day in August. About 50 young people, alongside a team of theologians and other experts, helped compile the book, which is designed to distill the official Catechism of the Catholic Church into a more easily understandable book for young people.
At the news conference launching the book, Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, the archbishop of Vienna who spearheaded the effort, said the book was necessary because young Catholics today are living in a world in which their faith isn’t as well known even to them as it was even a generation ago.
“This generation knows that they need to be able to respond to the questions from their countrymen who don’t know the faith,” Schoenborn said.
