Pope Francis is visiting the Philippines this week.
In honor of his visit hundreds of street urchins (children)
that are homeless have been rounded up and put into holding cells. I presume
they will be released after the pope leaves.
The irony here is that the Philippine government has just
allowed contraceptives to be available on a national basis and free to the
poor. This was done despite huge opposition from the Catholic Church there
(Philippines are mostly Catholic).
The pope has come to address the issue?
In the Philippines, women have on average 6-7 children in
their lifetimes (abortion is prohibited but so is divorce). Many of the
children die at an early age and so do the women.
Finally Catholic women can obtain contraceptives legally and
are doing so BUT don’t want to go to hell for opposing the wishes of the
Catholic Church…really?
How absurd does this issue have to get especially when we
are talking about the welfare and well-being of human beings on this earth?
I know Pope Francis is in a tough position going against
church teaching but I think he has the balls to do what is right and reasonable
after all he has been preaching a theology that helping humans on this earth
and not hurting them as the church has been doing for ages with its nonsensical
religious bullshit.
