Dated? Hardly.

Did you ever look at http://www.epa.gov/opperspd/futures/millenni/MILL12.TXT -- yes, it's located on the EPA's website. You'll have to search a little for more information on the U.N. University, the Millenium Project, and EPA funding, as I've misplaced some bookmarks.

1.4.2 Novel policies that could lead to the Vatican's acceptance of contraception without limit:

- Remove Holy See from the United Nations on grounds that it is not really a country and give it the same status as the World Council of Churches.

- Promotion of contraceptive that is accompanied with strong dissemination of moral values.

- Separate personal religious beliefs from personal choices as to the use of contraceptives.

- Theological doctrine developed by U.S. Catholic Bishops in support of sustainable development (of Government Statements at UNCED 1992).

- New international convention of religious leaders - Vatican III - with supporting papal encyclical letter - 1995.

- Elect a non-European Pope.

- Schism

- It is not practical.

- Create philosophical shift among powerful within the Roman Catholic Church.

- Policies that focus on responsabilization of woman to make choices.

- Only decline of organized religion is likely to affect the situation.

- Allow priests and nuns to marry and pay for the raising of children.

- Reconsideration of the theology of St. Thomas Aquinas - especially the discarding of the Thomastic view of "natural law" as it applied to human sexuality. Christ said nothing whatsoever about human sexuality. Separate the notion of procreation as the only "natural end" from that of enjoyment.

- Try to influence Vatican that some kinds of contraceptions could possibly be acceptable-not"chemical" and for women contraception but "mechanical" and for men (condoms)contraception.

Your tax dollars helped pay for that, Askel5.

Perhaps one of you could ping your Catholic lists to this posts.

I cannot underscore strongly enough that it was CATHOLICS who led the way in separating "Personal Convictions" from public Imposing of same. It was Catholics from Hesburgh's contraception conferences (as founded by Interlock foundation money) who testified before Congress that Catholics could not -- in good conscience -- oppose the State's embarking on birth control based on their own Personal Opinions.

Likewise, I know we are familiar with Rockefeller's offer to Pius VI to help pen Humanae Vitae

Toenail has dug up some valuable information here that should act like a Brechtian slap to the face of anyone stupid enough to believe the Catholic Church (and our "Campaign for Human Development" bishops) have ANY BUSINESS taking the lead in faith-based partnerships with the State.

I shall endeavor to round out my words here with posts detailing the facts of same in no uncertain terms and with all names, dates and pertinent history.

It's not just the Bishops and their "Campaign for Human Development".

Naturally, if you listen to the words they use in the posts above, you realize this is a revolution from above.

monkey's metaphor about the State's big stick being most apropos.
