The slaughter of the innocents

I cannot fathom the levels of ignorance prejudice and downright stupidity required to accept the assertion that contraceptive advice is a slaughter of the innocents.

But this is exactly what a spokesman for the Roman Catholic Church said. In reaction to President Obama's making available money for international family planning agencies. The largest religion in the world, the leader of which is regarded by the pious as God's representative on Planet Earth. The man who on the same day lifted the excommunications of four bishops appointed by the renegade archbishop Levebvre in 1988 - one of whom denies that 6 million Jews died in Nazi concentration camps.

So .... reactions against the new president have thus begun. By those who know that pious Catholics will begin to doubt his moral integrity. The purveyors of dogma and delusion, preying on the innocent.
