Magic BellyButton (a former Catholic like me) scores a hit with her analysis of the Nazi Pope's latest pronouncements against any form of contraception. I have swiped her photo and posted it above, but for the full story, go to: http://mymagicbellybutton.blogspot.com/2007/10/bear-still-shits-in-woods-pope-still.html.She also discusses (in another post) Australia's answer to Daddy Dobson & Co: Australian Christian Lobby . Some of her comments:
The ACL is committed to seeing "Christian principles and ethics accepted and influencing the way we are governed". When Muslims talk like that, of course, there are dark mutterings about "Sharia Law". All the major, and a few minor, parties replied to the ACL survey. But the Greens told them to get stuffed.
But a quick check of the rest of the survey shows why the Greens were right to have nothing to do with it. What is the big issue of the 2007 election campaign? The economy? Industrial relations? Tax reform? Education? The worm?Wrong. For the ACL, it's sex. Eleven of the ACL's 25 questions are about sex or reproduction, including the usual religious fixations with controlling women's bodies, homosexuality and pornography. No wonder ACL likes the Family First Party, which in recent days has taken its obsession with porn to new, erm, lengths.
The ACL survey isn't some neutral list of political positions to help those with monotheistic delusions to make up their minds how to vote.Instead, it pushes a nasty agenda focused on sex and discrimination.

The comments on the ACL aren't mine, they're that of David MacCormak. I included his entire article in italics in my post.
Never been a practicing Catholic though. Was christened as a baby and went to church once with my grandmother, and the only other times I've ever been are for weddings!
