The Pope, in his role as leader of the Catholic Church, is constantly reciting his faith’s stupid rules to the world. I believe it is more arrogant to repeatedly tell people how to live their lives, and especially what to do with their own bodies and their private affairs than for an infertile couple to have “artificial procreation” as he calls it.
Mr. Ratzinger, first try to rid your corrupt church of pedophiles, then and on then should you start concerning yourself with the rest of humanity. And since you’re never going to clean up your church, just shut the hell up already. TGO

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI has called on infertile couples to shun artificial procreation, saying such methods are a form of arrogance.
Benedict spoke Saturday at the end of a three-day Vatican conference on diagnosing and treating infertility. Reiterating Vatican teaching, he called marriage the only permissible place to conceive children.
Benedict also pressed a church ban against artificial procreation. He said infertile couples should resist resorting to any method to try to conceive other than sex between husband and wife.
He says the drive for profit as well as “arrogance” seem to dominate the field of infertility and warned against what he called the “fascination of artificial procreation technology.”
