As you probably know, the Catholic church disapproves of the use of birth control of any kind. This is so Catholics will breed more Catholics, and everyone will tithe.
There’s some other rationale for it that makes no logical sense whatsoever. The gist of it is if you have sex with birth control, you are committing some sort of pre-conception abortion. I know, that sounds too crazy to be true. I’m probably missing the subtleties of the rule. Whatever the reason, no one has ever been able to explain it to my satisfaction.
The big news out of the Vatican is that they might condone the use of condoms. If they allow it, there will be conditions. It will be acceptable if you’re married and your partner has HIV/AIDS from a blood transfusion. Talk about progress!
I think I’ll just shorten and twist the message. I learned well how to abbreviate and convolute messages during my Sunday school lessons. Everyone should use condoms! The pope says so. Yay.

Well, it only took them – what? – 500 years to admit the earth revolved around the sun. So they’re just on a different timetable is all. It’s like their own, personal daylight savings millennia.
