San Diego Reacts To Bishop's New Condom Policy

oh, please, DU the poll!!!!

SAN DIEGO -- An announcement by bishops in Spain supporting the use of condoms is sending shockwaves through the Catholic world that are reverberating in San Diego.

Rod Valdivia, chancellor for San Diego's Catholic diocese, said the stance is "inconsistent with the Spanish bishop'slong-standing position on birth control."

....they haven't been willing to approve of controlling population. No population control means bigger populations. Bigger populations mean more contributions to the church. More contributions to the church mean more money going to rome.
