Yes, you read right, the country’s foremost sexual health (or genitourinary) doctor, the Gozo Bishop Mario Grech, thinks that teaching children about condoms “encourages them to give in to the “culture of pleasure” and is tantamount to abuse“.
Of course! He’s right! We shouldn’t teach kids about condoms, we should teach them folklore stories with primitive and atavistic morality to instruct them on how to behave and function in a society in 2010. Like how rape is excusable if it’s in the Bible! Practical knowledge for an information laden world, y’know.
Evil.
The full quote from the shaman, sorry, Bishop, went
“The education system may be abusing students if instead of helping them to control their sexual energy it teaches them about contraception”
which of course makes sense, given what we know about male (and female) adults controlling their sexual energy due to vows of celibacy. I’ve never heard of a priest (or nun) who snapped under the repressed sexual energies of years, and went psycho. Or paedo. Have you heard of any such cases? Didn’t think so.
I think the bear knows of a few of these cases
Let me tell what abuse is Mario, for I refuse to call you by titles which are self appointed and arbitrary. Abuse is a man who will never ever experience childbirth and the wonderful beauty of it all, dictating that not only can a woman not terminate a pregnancy, she can not even avoid it.
Abuse is holding otherwise progressively minded people to dogmas of the past which are irrelevant in this day and age. Abuse is deciding that everyone walks through life using your moral compass, and no other.
Hell, you could’ve just told us to buy chastity devices. I hear even Amazon sells them

I didn’t know the bible teaches about rape. I have a good mind to revert to my former state of christianity ;p

Hear hear. And of course the real elephant in the room is the indoctrination of children with belief in imaginary beings who will mete out imaginary punishments when young people do what comes naturally. Now that’s child abuse.

If I may also add my tuppenceworth… So the church doesn’t mind couples using “natural family planning” to prevent pregnancy…but using a physical barrier is a big no-no! What makes the first OK, but the 2nd wrong? They both have the same intention after all: that of preventing unwanted pregnancies!
Karl Agius
Natural planning seems to be more of a compromise position than anything else; writings of the church fathers dating back to the 4th century condemn it (since bonking was only allowed as a necessary evil to produce offspring).
On the other hand, the rulings of the sacred penitentiary in the 18th century say that the church should teach natural planning methods to couples which used other contraceptive methods, and could not be prevented from doing so. As far as I can understand, the idea seems to have been, try to make them abstain, but if you have a pair of shameless sinners in your flock, try to convince them to use this technique instead on a case by case basis; since it no involves no external elements, one assumes that it is considered to be a loophole allowed by the big guy, rather than a violation of the rules.
Apparently not all branches of the church accept such interpretations either, preferring instead the old school 4th century version.
