Not surprising to me either. I didn't actually know the churches teaching on contraception until I was in my 30s.

It's nice to know you feel this way- there are people who truly hate it (Or more accurately, what they incorrectly think it to be)

Men aren't allowed to have babies.

There are some married priests- In our diocese there is one, a converted Anglican Priest. He doesn't think priests should be married.

Actually they did. If you read the Bible, it say's a few things- one with God all things are possible. God created everything, so I think this is within his grasp. Two read chapter 6 of the Gospel of John- he makes a big deal of explaining this. He lost a lot of disciples due to this. Plus- 1 Corinthians 11:27

Even though I know you won't care and are just trying to stir the pot, a quality Catholic is someone who applies Catholic teaching to their daily lives. Daily prayer /scripture study, forgiveness, trying to grow in Christ, charity, etc.

-+You mean the Coolidge era? That era of massive prosperity?

I'd say the Carter Administration

The sad thing is that people believe the drivel you just spewed. The Democrat party is filled with one worlders, communist revolutionaries, weather underground types, racists of all stripes, arrogant snobs, and brainwashed college students that couldn't think their way out of a paper bag. Oh and Truthers.
