It seems like you are the oppressor in this scenario.

I don't recall the Catholic Church being oppressive.

There were priests and bishops in Africa who taught that condoms don't prevent AIDS and who are STILL teaching this. That's a public health disaster and pretty damn oppressive.

There are priests and bishops in the US who teach that birth control is a sin and actively campaign against it. That's pretty damn oppressive.

There are priests and bishops in the US who teach that homosexual sex is a sin and actively campaign against gay marriage. That's pretty damn oppressive.

There are hundreds of priests who raped and molested children in their parishes, and the Church worked very hard to cover it up. That's both oppressive and CRIMINAL.



Let me clue you in PP. Contraception and homosexual sex (not homosexuality) are sins according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Pre-marital sex is also a sin. The Church has every right to express its disapproval of actions it deems sinful.

Regarding the priests and bishops who covered up the child sbuse. They should be prosecuted. That being said, as a Catholic I am the Church, not the priests and not the bishops.

Believe or not PP, there is objective truth in the world. Not everything is relative. If we believed everything was relative, we would condone those oppressors of women and girls who throw acid on them. After all, their culture does not value female education and who are we to impose our Western mores?

06:13 Don't give birth in a Catholic hospital, then. Would you go to France and complain that they're speaking French? It's not rocket science.
