Hey, talk to the early Christians, the ones trained by Christ and the apostles He appointed. The use of contraception is condemned by EVERY Christian throughout history. The first time you can find ANY Christian say it is something other than deadly sin is 1930, the Anglican Lambeth conference. If you want to fight every Christian who says your an idiot for using contraception, you've got a lot of fighting to do.
As for the ephebophilia/homosexuality scandal, so wow - you can find about 5% of Catholic priests who are doing what 85% of lay Christians are doing: acting out sexual deviancy. The major difference is only the choice of sex partners - you choose to act in a heterosexual contraceptive manner, they choose to act in a homosexual contraceptive manner. Either way, you're just masturbating inside of someone else, so how is this a point in your favor?
What has the Pope done to stop it? He has taught again and again that this evil will destroy the one who perpetrates it. And it has. Look at all those who act contraceptively, whether homosexually or heterosexually.
No, but any "Christian" who insults my wife by calling her a whore is going to require medical assistance when I'm through with him.

No, I can point out that not only did a certain percentage of Catholic priests act in this manner, but that significant portions of the Church hierarchy protected them and did nothing to get rid of the priests who victimized the innocent.

Well, unlike the priests we're talking about, I've never raped a little boy. Nor have I ever aided and abetted another in doing so.
If you can't see the moral difference between using contraception and raping an altar boy, all I have to say to you is "Shh!! The adults are talking here."

That's it? The RCC hierarchy aids and abets the rape of little children and all the Pope can do is sternly wag his finger?
