i think there are much larger threats to society out there than the RCC. Spitzer and public corruption comes immediately to mind
Oh, God.
The mind, it boggles.

As long as the Vatican sits in the middle of Europe like a smug big fat spider, I'd say there's nothing much we can whine about the Islam.

So, the Papacy has come out now in favor of reincarnation? May as well be a Buddhist.

Laying out a friendly, all-inviting trap?

Call me crazy, but, for the average Joe/Jane, i think government officials being incriminated for the very crimes they try and prosecute (potential embezzlement, tax evasion, money laundering, etc.) is a much bigger negative influence than some old religious prudes coming out saying that they are now okay with the sex.

Don't forget that 'society' also includes those folks over in Africa.
I'm guessing the Governor at least had the option to slap on a rubber before he made his life changing mistake.
That's harder to do if you live in a country where condoms are scarce because a guy in a poncho and a chef's hat says it's a sin to use them.

Fuckin' A. Right. Of all the 'evils' the RC church flaps on about, they are a direct fucking CAUSE of the suffering in Africa.
