In what planet are you living? BXVI has condemned abortion in the strongest of terms. Celibacy is a call to the priesthood has biblical and traditional support. You need to go familiarize yourself with Catholic saints who were simple priests to theological like St. Aquinas.

Verbal condemnation is good if there are teeth in it. The Pope is responsible for Church discipline at every level. He lets people such as Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi, and many other politicians who are heavy promoters, enablers and who champion evils such as abortion and homosexuality continue in the Catholic Church without discipline. He is clearly at fault for this.

The First Vatican Council clearly states: If anyone thus speaks, that the Roman Pontiff has only the office of inspection or direction, but not the full and supreme power of jurisdiction over the universal Church, not only in things which pertain to faith and morals, but also in those which pertain to the discipline and government of the Church spread over the whole world; or, that he possesses only the more important parts, but not the whole plenitude of this supreme power; or that this power of his is not ordinary and immediate, or over the churches altogether and individually, and over the pastors and the faithful altogether and individually: let him be anathema.
