In a recent interview with the Telegraph newspaper in the UK, Melinda Gates talked about why she decided to dissent from the teaching of the Catholic Church, but still seems to believe that she is a Catholic in good standing. She said:
"I’ve traveled so much all over the world. India, Bangladesh; so many counties in Africa. And I would come home and the stories would ring in my head of the women I talked to on the ground in those counties. I go out to the rural areas. I go out to slums and townships, and I would be out to talk to women about vaccines – what I was interested in for their children. And the women would say yes that is important, but what about that contraceptive tool. Why is that I used to be able to get a shot in my arm, which is the predominate form of birth control in Africa. They would say I can’t get it anymore. It’s a crisis. I can’t have another child. I already have four. I can hardly feed these four. I need this tool. Why don’t I have it?
And to me I just thought we use in our our countries. We use contraceptive widely in the UK and the United States. Those are decisions women make to plan and space the birth of children. It helps us have healthy children in our societies. And it became a rallying cry for me to answer those women’s calls. So yes, I wrestled with my faith, but I’m Catholic and I use contraceptives and I believe in them. So many Catholic women in my our country use them, and I think it’s the right thing for women all over the world."

she’ll be receiving communion Sunday between Pelosi and Kerry.
A belated welcome to FR.
Oh, there’s plenty I’d like to tell both Melinda and Bill.
Bill’s real forte’ was crooked business deals.
Someone should tell her that good deeds won’t get you in, lest anyone should boast.
‘healthy children in our society’????
What do you mean "was"?
Iow....let’s euthenize the ‘retards’. I despise Progressives.
Ever read the article on the guy who sold the operating system to Gates and Allen when they were starting out? What could have been..
“I’ve traveled so much all over the world. India, Bangladesh; so many counties in Africa.”
I know you never visit or donate in European countries. Why is that?
Looking for immortality, aren’t you?
Apparently wealth and power are pretty good inoculations against being excommunicated.
Nancy Pelosi and Biden meet the Pope and take communion at the Vatican, Ted Kennedy and other such Catholics receive elaborate and very public Catholic burials, and the support of most Catholic voters, I doubt this woman has been ex-communicated.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
The Catholic Religion is NOT a”Cafeteria”!You don’t say:”Well,I’ll Have A Little Of This,But NONE Of That”!!!
Committed suicide, I believe.
People who live fantasies cannot be easily dissuaded from their delusions. Otherwise the Democratic Party would collapse.
Anyone know how a vaccine decreases population? To me, it would seem to work exactly opposite.
i’d stuff them full of their deadly polio vaccine.
Biden, Pelosi, Kerry, Gates, etc., are all going to receive Communion until we get a Pope who is bothered by abortion.
