No.
How was I careless?
Then why are you criticizing the Vatican for opposing population control?
You are an idiot who obviously didn’t even read the article.
If you encourage unlimited immigration, the country you emigrate from will have a population problem. They should be encouraging a more just world instead of turning a blind eye to corrupt dictators and guilting prosperous countries into abandoning their sovereignty.
Abortion is such an amusing issue, isn’t it?
You’re not detracting me from anything. Hopefully I am detracting YOU from convincing a young woman to murder her baby.
Actually, I quoted from TWO Pontifical Councils: the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue and the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity.
Have YOU decided that these departments of the Roman Curia are no longer to be taken as OFFICIALLY "Catholic"?
On what basis, and upon whose authority, do YOU have the ability to exclude departments of the Roman Curia from the body of the Roman Catholic Church?
As for "selective digging," one can just as easily criticize a "selective denial" which excludes entire Departments of the Roman Curia as being not "really Catholic" because they are found to be too liberal. I wonder what BXVI - or any man of good will -- would think of such legalistic shenanigans.
BTW, here's another of my "selective" quotes from the Vatican website. This one is from a representative of the Vatican Secretariat of State. He has a lot to say about global warming and greenhouse gas emissions and "sustainable development," but nothing about sunspot cycles. Fancy that!
The Earth’s climate system has demonstrably changed on both global and regional scales since the pre-industrial era. Agenda 21 recognizes the legitimate priority needs of developing countries for the achievement of sustained economic growth and the eradication of poverty, but this clearly cannot be achieved at any price. Even if greenhouse gas emissions were to be stabilized at present levels – an unlikely eventuality as things stand - the global warming trend and sea-level rise would continue for hundreds of years, due to the atmospheric lifetime of some greenhouse gases and the long timescales on which the deep ocean adjusts to climate change. In such circumstances, moves to turn the United Nations Environment Programme into a more robust United Nations Environment Organization appear both prudent and welcome, in order to achieve a truly integrated approach to sustainable development in which both halves of that term are given their due weight.
Let me guess -- your response will be to tell me that the Vatican Secretariat of State isn't officially RC either. LOL!
Once again -- anyone who claims like you did in your Post#9 that "The Catholic Church has never said that humans cause global warming..." is demonstrably WRONG.
Catholic ping!
This is not about abortion genius.
Perhaps if you had actually read the article you would see we are talking about two different things. The Pope made a statement over a year ago (this was linked and mentioned in this article), but this article is about a statement that an archbishop recently made.
As far as the "original issue", that would be the sanctity of human life. The Catholic Church has ALWAYS condemned abortion and this is upsetting to those of you who support abortion (and I would imagine especially to people like YOU and OBAMA who BOTH SUPPORT TAXPAYER FUNDED ABORTION).
More obfuscation on your part. BTW, have you given up crying for help from the mods?
How so exactly? I posted the article in its entirety with links and one of the links was to an article from a year ago. How does this possibly qualify as "obfuscation"? Or are you complaining about the FACT that you support taxpayer-funded abortion?
BTW, have you given up crying for help from the mods?
Jim has always allowed a handful of abortionists to stay (I disagree with that, but it's obviously his call), it seems that you fall into that category.

Thank you. However, my comment stands.
Now I am an abortionist? LOL
I understand that you and your ilk feel far more comfortable being called "pro-choice", but the truth is that you and your ilk support abortion (including taxpayer-funded abortion) and that makes you ABORTIONISTS.
