You don't think the offenders have been punished? Give me a break.
Uh... I didn't catch that.
That is the most moral relatavist thing I have ever heard anyone say. Just because it is the 21st century we have a right to act like reckless spoiled lustful hooligans? That is ridiculous.
How is the Church responsible for poor children? The Church has done qutie a bit for people in all third world countries. You can't expect the Church to fix every problem inthe world.
Abstaining.

No? Obviously Murder is a more grievous sin but the principle is the same--you can have a whoel ton o Faith in God and still kill people. You can have a whole ton of faith in God and still use condoms.
It is indeed a catastrohpe. Did you even READ my post? The ONLY country where AIDS has NOT grown over the years is a country where ABSTINENCE, not CONDOMS have been the main force behind prevention. None of the countries who have rampant condom use are lowering their AIDS problem, so your argument, and everyone's argument, is absurd--if condoms were doing the trick, we would be in a practically AIDS free world. Trying to blame it on the Catholic Church is a nice way of saying "Well my way is obviously not working--but since it gives me an easy lifestyle in which I can act recklessly and not worry about it, I need to find someone to blame".

Well, this is my point of view. I'm so sorry you can't understand it!
