I went looking for more information on the whole Catholic church lying about condoms thing and foundthis. It's a statement of what the actual church's stance is (meaning those in charge, not just some rogue bishop somwhere) on contraceptives, and includes the misinformation about latex condoms being permeable.

It also says that it opposes contraception in part because they feel that contraceptives cause more people to have abortions, *because it will fail sometimes and create an unwanted baby*. okay, so if i don't use any at all but still don't want babies, won't i be pregnant more than if i used contraceptives, mister catholic?

I know that second part isn't new news, but you know. (And keep in mind as I rant that I am not Catholic-bashing here, I am angry with *the church adminstration* for promoting this. I realize the average Catholic isn't evil, but I feel that many of the people in charge certainly have some seriously wrong ideas that are really harmful to a lot of people.)
