New York, May. 03, 2005 (CNA) - Planed Parenthood has launched a campaign to motivate all of its members and supporters, nominal Catholics and non-Catholics, to send letters to the editor, requesting that Pope Benedict XVI reconsider his backward views and change his opinion on sexual morality.
Pope Benedict XVI must be encouraged to reconsider his dangerously outdated stances on birth control, abortion and sexuality in order to help move the Catholic Church into the 21st century, reads a memo issued by campaign manager Eve Fox.
The new Pope's positions on these crucial issues pose a terrible danger to the health of millions of women and girls around the world and undermines efforts to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS, Fox wrote.
The campaign manager justified this action, saying that the the Church has tremendous influence over many governments, especially in Latin America, and plays a powerful role in shaping social and political norms around the world.
Calling him even more conservative than Pope John Paul II, Fox told her supporters that Pope Benedict XVI is against all forms of contraception and opposes the use of condoms to prevent HIV/AIDS.
Prior to being elected Pope, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger told Catholics in the U.S. it would be a sin to vote for pro-choice candidates like John Kerry, and urged bishops to deny Kerry Communion. He has also led the Catholic Church's campaign against same-sex marriage and other rights for same-sex couples, including the right to adopt children, wrote Fox
Planned Parenthood receives funding from the Federal Government, from some state governments, and some local governments.
Planned Parenthood also receives significant funding from the United Way -- if give the United Way, you are probably contributing to sex education and abortion clinics and free faulty condoms.
Doesn't claiming that these stances are outdated imply that at one point they weren't? If so what caused it besides the sudden secularization of the world?
Nice that someone came up with a name for the likes of Leahy, Kerry, Kennedy, Durbin, Mikulski, et al.
"How many letters have we received, my son?"
"Dozens, sir. Almost 100."
"I will pray for them."
HA! Show yourselves for what you are! I love it!
ROFL!! Ok, the guy answers to GOD and he's going to be afraid of Planned Parenthood?? Does anyone besides me find this to be hysterical??? (Not trying to be sacreligious - this just gave me the giggles and I can't help it!!)
Let 'em waste their resources on this. The Catholic Church knows who it reports to, and it sure ain't the free-sex society.
Great minds a minute apart :)
Note that they claim that he is "even more conservative" than the previous pope. People who have studied Margaret Sanger, realize she was deeply tied to Nazi Germany before World War II.
It is my personal opinion that Margaret Sanger had to abandon her previous organization and form Planned Parenthood because of these strong ties to the plan for the Master Race.
She formed Planned Parenthood in January of 1942 -- just days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and also just days after the US declared war on Nazi Germany.
Maybe Ms Fox would want us to adopt again the vision of Adolf Hitler for the Master Race -- which Margaret Sanger had for the United States.
Margaret Sanger planned to eliminate blacks, Indians (native Americans) and Catholics as part of her plans to get rid of undesirables.
So let's stop government funding for this coach roach as well as any for the ACLU!!!
It is Catholics that are the targets. Planned Parenthood endorsed John Kerry for president (and the fellow from Massachusetts is supposedly a Catholic -- though not a Catholic in good standing according to the laws of the Catholic Church. John Kerry is divorced but re-married without an annulment, and is a strong supporter of abortion and infanticide.)
On top of that, he has the support of cats everywhere.
Planned Parenthood is in for a long day and a short war.
Morality on such issues is TIMELESS and will NEVER change. LOL!!! Planned parenthood is so superficial and immature. They remind me of children.
Pope Benedict XVI vs Planned Parenthood!
Yessiree! They will show him whose boss the next time he stands for re-election!
Giggle,snort
His views? The pope's function is to conserve the deposit of faith entrusted to St. Peter and the Apostles by our Lord, Jesus Christ. Eve Fox needs to take this up with "higher" sources.
Catholic Ping
Please freepmail me if you want on/off this list
I think this is hilarious.
If Planned Parenthood wants to waste its time and money trying to convince the Holy Father to bless abortions, let them.
Less time and money spent on influencing US policy that way.
"Planned Parenthood launches campaign against Pope Benedict XVI" Be strong My good G-D this persons do not know Benedictum XVI this is evil total evil!!!!Thank you
