The official doctrine of the Catholic Church is that life begins at conception. That means the life of a fertilized egg is as important as the life of any young person.
The official doctrine of the Catholic Church, emphatically restated by the current pope, is that for a married couple to have sex for any purpose but procreation is a sin.
In the real world, if a married Catholic man says to the priest in confession, “I have sinned because I had sex with my wife four times this week without any intent to procreate” the priest would reply, “Stop bragging and let’s back to your confession.”
As I have said before, no one could have been a Catholic bishop and not been aware of the wholesale rapes of little boys unless he was not an idiot, and no Catholic bishop is an idiot. You don’t get to that position if you are not bright.
When the scandal finally became public, not one single Catholic bishop was even reprimanded, no matter how many little boys he helped to get raped.
But the pope is worried to death about a fertilized egg.
