I think my position is much more morally defensible than yours.

Well,in a world where everything is relative what does it matter? I believe in absolutes and I think in the big picture my position is morally superior to yours.

You will find,in your world of relative truths,there may come a time when you,or your children, will have no freedom,because a group more powerful will take command and establish new rights and wrongs goods and bads.

Today you are comfortable with the prevailing values because they work for you,tomorrow another group may decide that the world could be better if only healthy,bright,good looking people could have sex with others.You or your children may not meet those standards.They could decide that anyone without permission to have sex would be forced to have an abortion and if they managed to conceal the pregnancy than the child would be killed at birth or when discovered.And,the disobedient life giver and bearer might be thrown in jail.

In order for the world to work people need to look at the long term consequences of the causes they espouse and the choices they make.To endorse or espoouse relative values and truths is a precarious path to travel.

There can be no freedom absent truth,the Cardinal made a true statement about condoms not being effective in preventing AIDS,the Catholic Church states unequivocably that abstinence is the sure fire AIDS preventative. It is a sin and immoral to twist or suppress those facts.

That's already happened. The Catholic Church did exactly that during a period known as the Dark Ages. You're the one trying to control people's sexuality, not me. I'm not the one who believes condoms are going to bring about the Apocalypse
