You're completely right. I wish religions were focused on morals, on reasonable morals, instead of opposing science in some aspects.
And I believe that spreading the idea that condoms are bad was not just a big mistake the Church made and possibly will admit later on, it's a crime against humanity. I don't have anything against religions, I'm a believer myself, but misinforming people and putting them in danger is something we don't think of as completely wrong enough.
- jimbokun 18y ago"I wish religions were focused on morals, on reasonable morals, instead of opposing science in some aspects." I do not think the article successfully makes the case that the Catholic Church is opposing science, at least not in the particulars cited. He does not say that the Catholic Church has disagreed with any of the particulars of the mechanisms behind IVF, only that they have moral objections to it. He does seem to be implying that the fact he practices science gives him the right to dictate morality to the rest of us, or something like that. If that is not what he is saying, I don't think he has much of a point at all.
