The only Church that’s been doing it’s job since 1935 is the Catholic church.

Weber talks about pre-contraception protestant work ethic. Two very different things, today and yesterday.

I'd rather be able to say something more agreeable and pleasant. However, in the interest of the truth, the best I can say is . . .

WHAT UNMITIGATED BALDERDASH!

From where I observe . . . it appears MORE LIKELY that the Vatican has been dooming more people to hell than it's been strengthening their relationship to God or introducing to God.

It seems like the closer the individuals get to the Vatican Cult, the more addicted they become to idolatry:

1. Idolatry of the INSTITUTION
2. Idolatry of the dogma--as convoluted and contradictory as it is.
3. Idolatry of the hierarchy
4. MASSIVE AND INTENSE IDOLATRY OF MARY regardless of the weasel words to the contrary.

Individuals become affixed in very chornically immature states to THE INSTITUTION and all it's clap-trap--far more often than they are matured into a deepening relationship with Jesus and His Word. The statistics posted hereon over the last month or so brazenly testify to that.

I don't know that contraception has made the most dramatic difference. Would have to study and reflect on that. I can argue both sides of that, to some degree. .

You make a good point.

Human welfare is not only about taking care of yourself.

And, making sure there is one...
