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.

Well, then stop insulting your wife by using contraceptives. You're the one whose demeaning her by treating her as if her fertility was a disease that needs medical treatment, so disgusting you have to wear rubber before you'll touch her.

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.

Dude, I can do better than that. I'm writing a book showing that the American bishops taught American Catholics how to use contraceptives through the way they treated us since Vatican I. Again, so what? You want to claim that the Orthodox are better because your bishops are more consistently asses than ours by supporting divorce and contraception actively instead of just passively?

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."

If you can't see that using contraception and raping little boys are both mortal sins, then all I have to say is "I'll be quiet - I hate to interrupt pagans in conversation."

Hey, don't look at me- my wife's the Catholic, not me. She's the one violating the tenets of her religion by birth control, not me. In that regard, she's a pretty standard American Catholic. I personally couldn't care less about the Vatican's teachings, since I'm not Roman Catholic.

Nope. I want to point out that before you go on the offensive as to why every other denomination is wrong and the RCC get everything right, you may want to inspect your own house, first.

Again, I'm not Roman Catholic, so I couldn't care less what your denomination's teachings are. As I've mentioned before, the Pope has no authority over me.
