Ok, I can see their side of it, IE they don't have enough Catholics in the world, so let's have babies so the faith can spread. But come on...this can't really be good for the larger societies like the US.

What an irony that he removes every single one of his employees from this need. Moron.

I'd sure think they'd be the best people for spreading the good word to their kids.

Hell, Catholics in third-world countries don't need to be multiplying. It's those non-Catholic folks in Japan that need to hop on each other's genitalia and start breeding.

Why are you complaining? Won't that policy mean FEWER fundies in the world? I wish MORE Fundi morons would become Catholic Priests for the good of the gene pool.

If priests could legally shoot their load every once in a while, Catholocism would probably be a bit less uptight. And molestilicious.

Both of my parents are Catholic (my mother much less devout, though). They had two kids, my sister and myself. I am an atheist, while my sister considers herself to be some form of Buddhist.

So, Pope Benedict, how's that for spreading the Catholic faith through multiplication?

Yes but how likely is it that this will actually happen?

Makes perfect sense to me. The more people Catholic places like the Philippines have the less food, services and resources each will get. Thus all those poor loyal Cathlics will endure less 'suffering' on Earth and spead their way to Heaven.

So, just to sum up the revised official position of the Vatican:

Every sperm, is sacred
Every sperm, is great
If a sperm, is wasted
God gets quite irate...

Either that, or he's somehow worried about the growth of the Muslim population.

At least now we can sell them all for medical experiments

.

I have to say that this idiotic policy while understandable really gets me pissed, we have too many people on the planet allread and the solution is to encourage them (especially in poorer areas) to breed like flies

Pope Benedict XVI told Catholics to have more babies "for the good of society," saying that some countries were being sapped of energy because of low birth rates.

"Having children is a gift that brings life and well-being to society," he told about 15,000 people at his weekly audience in the Vatican, to which he arrived by helicopter from his summer residence southeast of Rome.

He said the decline in the number of births "deprives some nations of freshness and energy and of hopes for the future incarnate in children."

The pope also spoke of "the security, the stability and the force of a numerous family."

Although the Vatican bans all forms of articial contraception, this is widely ignored even in predominantly Catholic countries such as Italy and Spain, which have some of the lowest birth rates in the world.

The pontiff regretted that God is "unhappily often excluded or ignored" in many societies.

"A sound society certainly is born out of the commitment of all of its members, but it also has a need of the blessing and support of God," he said.

Since people can't seem to post text from an article without my help...I like the part about God feeling unhappy that he's being ecluded or ignored when it comes to people having sex in their own homes. Perv.

As a catholic, I welcome this advice from his holiness *pulls out whip and corsets and wanders over to see Lord Pounder*

If Catholicism gets strong enough then its possible the Fundies of the Protestant variety might turn on them and there is some great funny infighting. Especially with the current Popel.

But before they go after the Catholics, they'll probably make a push to rid the world of the athiests. Sure, the Catholics are the hated enemy to many Protestant denominations, but not nearly as evil as those Godless, lawless athiests.

He could start a fund for Fleshlights for each priest?

You may well be right but the thing is that atheists can turn the other cheek whenever the Fundies go after them. If the Fundies criticized the Catholics in a real big and public way then something not very pleasent would hit the fan.
