Aren't they opposed to pre marital sex anyway? Condoms or no condoms, i thought pre marital sex was a no no?

Statistics should be made to see how much deaths the British Government/ British Empire caused. I'm willing to bet its ten fold the amount of deaths attributed to the Catholic Church.

I think this is some of the moral relativism Stephen Fry was complaining he gets accused of.

    Mikhail, is it true in ireland that you cant leave the catholic church but just saying 'im no longer a catholic'. I was told you have to send a letter to your priest saying you want to leave, then you have to book a meeting to discuss it with him and then you have to apply somewhere else before you can leave. Is that right?

    I think there is a formal procedure like that (except for the "you have to apply somewhere else before you can leave" bit - I've never heard of anything like that), but there's no consequence to ignoring it. I've never heard of anyone doing it.

    Imo they can't. They believe that Every Sperm Is Sacred :lol2:

    They believe that everytime you have sex, you should have a child, no jokes, its why they are so against abortions.

    That is very true, that's why hardcore Catholics have like 6 children... I know a few of those, it's insane

    No condoms even between wife and husband? How do they justify that?

    Because sex was meant by God to procreate, between husband and wife obviously

    No pre marital sex
    No divorce
    no condoms
    no anal sex (straight/gay)


    But raping small boys is fine.

    I don't agree with any of those except the last one (but not because I think it's a sin I just think it's nasty)... That's why I'm having a hard time having faith in my religion... Although when I get married I'd like to get married in a Catholic Church and raise my kids as Catholics

    So you believe in god? But even if you do, what on earth do you need the catholic church for? Do you also believe they have a super exclusive telephone connection to heaven?
