If this is true...

True enough. I was getting at the somewhat conflicting Roman Catholic doctrines of 'do not ever practice birth control' and 'be good stewards of creation'.

Hasn't this guy addressed 'do not ever practice birth control' already? I thought he'd made some 'comments' but not yet anything official.

Yup. I'm quite unsatisfied with the Church's distinction between "natural" and "unnatural" contraception methods, as both seem to run contrary to the doctrine of being open to having children, and either would fulfill the 'responsible parenthood' message.

Okay, yeah. Well, perhaps something more specific and modern is yet to come.

I unconverted from Catholicism when I was 14. Then I converted to druggism. Then I converted to Marxism when I was 23. Then I converted to social democracism when I was about 27 or so. Every often I've found myself expressing tendencies toward radicalism. If the pope is joining the cause to halt anthropogenic climate change, I say good for him. But I'm still not going to convert back to catholicism. My timeline is a one way arrow. So maybe I'm actually more into astro-physicism? I'm definitely into climate-changism. Its getting murkier. But I'll always be a tube-amp building Surf Daddio.
