Ancient Versus Modern

(4)

Modern science provides us with an alternative world view. Modern technology which is the offspring of modern science suggests to us nowadays that we as a species may have a moral responsibility in regard to Mother Earth. The Vatican has no such idea of morality. Doesn't have a clue. Vatican ideas of morality are three thousand years old or more. To the Vatican it is immoral to masturbate. To the Vatican it is immoral to prevent conception during copulation. The Good Earth is not yet full enough according to the vatican. Earth needs more people.

This is only one example of old and odious ideas clashing with modern common sense. There are many others and they are all very embarrassing to an old and odious papacy.

This is the situation faced by a 78 year old pontiff who may know a lot about a completely useless idea: Theology. How embarrassing.
