The pope shouldn’t be in the business of giving a damn about what a man put on his...

He speaks on matters of morality. It's in the job description.

As a non-Catholic (studying to be one) I have always wondered why contraception was a matter of morality, as opposed to being a matter of commonsense?

(Yes, I have read about Onan, and am of the view that he was struck dead not because he played with himself, and not because he used a rudimentary form of contraception, but because of his motives for doing so — which were to avoid keeping his brother’s family line alive, after his brother’s death: in other words, he tried to wiggle out of carrying out a direct command from God by making compliance impossible.)

“It’s in the job description.”

I would be interested in seeing that job description. And who actually wrote it?
