The Roman Catholic church, led by the pope, has been a regressive
force against every attempt a population control. A major portion of
the world's problems are the result of over population and it's just
going to get worse until a majority of people recognize the issue.

Maybe that's true in third world countries but I don't think the
Catholic church's traditional views on contraception or abortion have
much affect on people in the USA and other "modern" societies, even
among those who are Catholic. For the record, I am not but I know
many who are and virtually all of them practiced contraception methods
that are "forbidden" by the church. For many, church teachings and
traditions are a buffet ... take what you like and leave the rest. I
see nothing wrong with that.

That's all fine as far as it goes but the church has also been a
strong avocate for opposing legislation.


If the legislation promoted the killing of babies, then the Church did as it should. The Church will
oppose some legislation and promote the other.

But you are okay with wars, the death sentence, gun violence, hatred and
bigotry.... odd.
