Why, when the Vatican city has the lowest birth rate in the world...?
Well, it doesn't take a genius to work that one out. But why when they are celibate and have a zero birth rate do they encourage non use of contraception in developing South American, African countries and the Phillipines amongst others? Isn't it hypocritical and irresponsible to encourage people to have large families that will make it difficult to provide for them? I'm not Anti - Catholic, but I would appreciate some thoughtful answers instead of being proverbially cast into the lake of fire, so here's your chance to explain. Oh, and I'm affiliated with no one, so don't try and pin a proddie wrap upon me. Sentinel: If you can provide a link for that statement, then I will challenge the proddies and give more consideration to your answer, otherwise it's unsubstantiated. See what I mean?! Ex _Pro goes straight on the offensive. I don't even have the right to ask. Does Heaven... You make some good points. However, my lady is nominally catholic and comes from Africa. I assure you that I have been there and I'm not just making baseless assumptions. Mrs Catholic: While respecting your point of view, may I ask if you've ever been to Africa? The birth rate is low in some countries because of war, death, famine and disease will mask birth figures to a large degree. Try visiting Mozambique which is only just starting to overcome some of these terrible tragedies. Also, if God gave sexual desire, then why shouldn't people be allowed to fulfill it, using contraception if they wish? Remember a lot of people adhere to religions by social pressure, not because they truly believe.

It stands to reason that if there are more catholics the vatican will have more power. The reason why they chose sexuality is because it's the one free pleasure we have in life and they want to control that. If they can control your sexuality, they are controling you. The vatican has already admitted it is more about the church than the spirituality so there we have it, straight from them.

The Catholic doctrine forbids interference in the gift of human life given by God and this includes contraception in both forms (coitus interruptus and sterilization), and this type of interference of life is condemned without exception (Gen. 38:9–10, Deut. 23:1). The early Fathers recognized that the purpose of sexual intercourse in natural law is procreation; contraceptive sex, which deliberately blocks that purpose, is a violation of natural law. Every church in Christendom condemned contraception until 1930, when, at its decennial Lambeth Conference, Anglicanism gave permission for the use of contraception in a few cases. Soon all Protestant denominations had adopted the secularist position on contraception. Today not one stands with the Catholic Church to maintain the ancient Christian faith on this issue. How badly things have decayed may be seen by comparing the current state of non-Catholic churches, where most pastors counsel young couples to decide before they are married what form of contraception they will use, with these quotations from the early Church Fathers, who condemned contraception in general as well as particular forms of it, as well as popular contraceptive sex practices that were then common (sterilization, oral contraceptives, coitus interruptus, and orally consummated sex). Many Protestants, perhaps beginning to see the inevitable connection between contraception and divorce and between contraception and abortion, are now returning to the historic Christian position and rejecting contraceptive sexual practices. It should be noted that some of the Church Fathers use language that can suggest to modern ears that there is no unitive aspect to marital intercourse and that there is only a procreative aspect. It is unclear whether this is what some of them actually thought or whether they are intending simply to stress that sexual activity becomes immoral if the procreative aspect of a given marital act is deliberately frustrated. However that may be, over the course of time the Church has called greater attention to the unitive aspect of marital intercourse, yet it remains true that the procreative aspect of each particular marital act must not be frustrated. God bless.

I'm not sure you have any idea what being a Catholic means. Catholics believe that Jesus set up the Church and gave it authority in Faith and Morals, to protect His Message and be a light for the world. If you were going to disobey the Church on sexual morality WHY WOULD YOU EVEN BE A CATHOLIC. That makes no sense. If it is what it says and you believe it...then follow it. If not, don't. Simple as pie...'if you open your eye'

You must be affiliated with someone. You came from parents, right? Ok - seriously, I just don't think you can compare the two. Catholic clergy generally do not produce babies, and you and I and the rest of the free and not so free world know it. The reason they are not willing to promote birth control is because they want large families. It behooves a religion to grow, and this is their angle to get that. Doesn't make them bad or good, it's just their angle. It's not irresponsible, and I see you are assuming from the outset that those producing large families will have difficulty providing for them. I'm just going by your own words. And yes, indeed - Those that can't afford it, shouldn't. Most catholics worldwide practice their faith "al a carte". Whether that's right or wrong is subject to another debate, but it's been demonstrated that a plurality of catholics WORLDWIDE use birth control, and a majority of US catholics do as well.

The Catholic church does allow the use of the Rhythm Method when absolutely necessary (financial struggle, medical problems, etc). To use contraception to make sure you have no more children is to say you don't have faith that God will provide you with the means to care for the children you will have. I have three children, all of which I was forced to accept Medicaid to bring into this world. My husband and I struggled for seven years to provide them with everything they need in this world. Now we are enjoying the fruits of our labor. My husband was hired with a great department in a place with a low cost of living, and our salary has doubled. God will provide you with the means to care for every child He gives you. The problems in Africa and so on throughout the world are not large families, but premarital relations. And even then, most large countries are suffering from a low birth rate. Some countries are even paying women to have babies to make sure that their population doesn't dissapear! so in the end it is about having faith that God will provide. If you don't want to have babies, try abstinence. That is the responsible thing, not contraception. response to your personal addition for me... god gave us desire so that it would not be an appalling thing to be fruitful and multiply. Not so that we could have a fling whenever we feel like it. That is why disease is rampant in Africa. I come from Portugal, which is a poor country and I have seen women sell band aids in markets to make an extra escudo to feed the child strapped to their backs. Portugal is also 99% Catholic and they aren't complaining.

The Catholic Church only encourages couples to be open to life and open to God's will for their families. The Catholic Church does not say that people must have large families, only that it is wrong to have sex using artificial contraception. This takes God out of the sex act, and makes it one of physical pleasure only. The Church has always taught that sex is unitive and procreative and that they are both intregal aspects of sexual intercourse, and that sexual intercourse is only to be between a husband and wife. God created women with a natural fertility cycle. A woman cannot get pregnant everytime she has sex, by natural design. The Catholic Church only requires that we, as good and faithful Christisans, work with God's design and do not pervert it or circumvent it for our own pleasure. Couples who cannot afford a child, or have other licit reasons to avoid a pregnancy, should abstain from sex during the woman's fertile time. This is really only a few days a month. According to statistics, if a couple using NFP (natural family planning) and trying to avoid pregnancy, were to have sex every day they could...they'd have sex at twice the national average. The only thing is there are days that you may want sex, but need to abstain. On those days you offer this sacrifice to God, and show your love for your spouse in other non-sexual ways. It's actually good for the relationship. So, the Catholic Church is only doing as it has done for 2000 years. It states that God is the author of life and intricately involved in our marriage and family life. That sex is a gift and allows us to be co-creators with God and this makes it a sacred and life giving act. When we pervert the act by using contraception we cause it to be an unnatural and sterile act. The Catholic Church does not encourage those who cannot afford large families to have them. It does however encourage all the faithful to trust in God, and have faith in his design.

The Vatican no longer uses the "Index" of prohibited books, I understand Catholics are supposed to avoid...
...reading books that endanger "faith and morals". But how are they supposed to know which these books are? How can one know a book is a danger without reading it? (In which case, one has surely been exposed to the danger?) Is there some taskforce of dedicated, selfless, people who risk eternal damnation by reading potentially dangerous books and warning Catholics which ones to avoid? (I'm not Catholic myself, I'm just wondering how these rules are supposed to work.) Sorry, a word vanished from my question: "The Vatican no longer uses the "Index" of prohibited books, *but* I understand Catholics are supposed to avoid..."

You know I spend an embarrassing amount of time watching movies and things on TV that I should not. I have a quote up at home from someone that says, along the lines of, why ask God to purify your heart and mind if you keep filling it with lust and perversion? I think it's human nature when someone points to something and says, "don't read that, it's filthy", to run out and buy the book, or turn on the show. Personally, I wish I had more self discipline to stay away from base things. If anyone would like to pray that for me, I'd really appreciate it. Who needs to fill their heads with filth? Whoever is taking the time to warn others away from things that are vulgar, I say, more power to them.

I don't think they have to avoid them anymore. The concern was people getting bad ideas (such as questions about the church which might lead them astray) or immoral works (such as the Marquis de Sade). There was more than one category of works on the index.

"Is there some taskforce of dedicated, selfless, people who risk eternal damnation by reading potentially dangerous books and warning Catholics which ones to avoid?" No, there are very well educated people who know what it is they are reading who do it. The gnostic gospels are a very good example of it. I can read any of the gnostic gospels without any fear of losing my faith because I understand gnosticism and I understand where gnosticism diverges from Judaism.

Why does did vatican II declare the following erroneous statement
Why does did vatican II declare the following erroneous statement?
For it is the liturgy through which especially in the divine sacrifice of the eucharist, the work of our redemption is accomplished..... But He (God) also willed that the work of salvation which they(the apostles) preached should be set in train through the sacrifice and sacraments, around which the entire liturgical life revolves......The liturgy is.....the fount from which all he (mother church) power flows. Refutation: According to God's word redemption(salvation) was accomplished by Christ in His sacrifice upon the cross and is received by faith Ephesians 1:7 Colossians 1:14 Hebrews 9:12 Rejecting God's Word rome insist that redemption remains yet to accomplished by the church;s liturgy. Catholicism's contradiciton of the scripture on this point is blatant and fatal one. Excerpts by Dave Hunt

Tampered quote, no citation, stupid interpretation. "For it is the liturgy through which, especially in the divine sacrifice of the Eucharist, "the work of our redemption is accomplished,"[1] and it is through the liturgy, especially, that the faithful are enabled to express in their lives and manifest to others the mystery of Christ and the real nature of the true Church. [2] The liturgy daily builds up those who are in the Church, making of them a holy temple of the Lord, a dwelling-place for God in the Spirit, [3] to the mature measure of the fullness of Christ. " THE CONSTITUTION ON THE SACRED LITURGY SACROSANCTUM CONCILIUM The initial quote is from a prayer for the ninth Sunday after Pentecost. 2 and 3 are Bible references [2] Cf. Heb. 13:14. [3] Cf. Eph. 2:21-22. ======================= Now of course you are arguing for Private Interpretation but afraid to come out in the open. Yes, "salvation was accomplished by Christ in His sacrifice upon the cross and is received by faith" BUT The Mass is not a separate Sacrifice !!! You know this if you've done any research at all. Any fairminded plaintiff would let the defendant make his own case, and here it is : "The Council of Trent reaffirmed traditional Christian teaching that the Mass is the same Sacrifice of Calvary offered in an unbloody manner: "The victim is one and the same: the same now offers through the ministry of priests, who then offered himself on the cross; only the manner of offering is different. And since in this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and offered in an unbloody manner... this sacrifice is truly propitiatory" (Doctrina de ss. Missae sacrificio, c. 2, quoted in Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1367). The Council declared that Jesus instituted the Mass at his Last Supper: "He offered up to God the Father His own body and blood under the species of bread and wine; and, under the symbols of those same things, He delivered (His own body and blood) to be received by His apostles, whom He then constituted priests of the New Testament; and by those words, Do this in commemoration of me, He commanded them and their successors in the priesthood, to offer (them); even as the Catholic Church has always understood and taught."[2]" http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10006a.htm

We are not saved by faith or works. We are saved by the grace of God. One means, but not the only means, of receiving this grace is through the unbloody sacrifice of the Eucharist and the other sacraments.

The liturgy celebrates the sacrifice. The Catholics are spot on with this one! They are correct. We are commanded to worship and to do good works as well. Faith without works is dead. from James Chapter 2 (James was the younger brother of Jesus)
5 :
Why do you hate Catholics so much? It seems that you hate anything you don't agree exactly with. Christianity is about love and tolerance, not vehement hatred! But many people hate what they do not take time to understand or cannot understand.
6 :
From the Catechism 1085 In the liturgy of the Church, it is principally his own Paschal mystery that Christ signifies and makes present. During his earthly life Jesus announced his Paschal mystery by his teaching and anticipated it by his actions. When his Hour comes, he lives out the unique event of history which does not pass away: Jesus dies, is buried, rises from the dead, and is seated at the right hand of the Father "once for all."8 His Paschal mystery is a real event that occurred in our history, but it is unique: all other historical events happen once, and then they pass away, swallowed up in the past. The Paschal mystery of Christ, by contrast, cannot remain only in the past, because by his death he destroyed death, and all that Christ is - all that he did and suffered for all men - participates in the divine eternity, and so transcends all times while being made present in them all. The event of the Cross and Resurrection abides and draws everything toward life. OH AND FYI THE CHURCH IS A "SHE" NOT A "HE" so what you posted was erroneous. May God have mercy on your soul for your hatred and Blasphemy of his Church.

the statement is not errouneous, it is your understadning of th ebible that is off. The bible and the words of the vatican cannnot be contraditory by defeiniotn, if that wrer the case we would simply re-write the bible. Jesus is hte word of god, the bible contains the words of god. In any event there is nothign contraditory or errounous it is just that you do not understand the bible. I am sorry for you and I will pray, becasue you are unders the spell of the fahter of lies.
