One of the main reasons i find the Catholic church disgusting is that they refuse to advocate any form of contraceptive birth control. I think even the Pope realizes by now that people are having premarital sex, but the church’s stance on the use of condoms and the birth control pill hasn’t changed an inch. While this just makes them seem all the more backwards within the bounds of American culture, in many countries (especially in Latin America) the church’s word is law, and it’s easier to obey a law that says not to use condoms then to obey a law that says not to have sex. Either you’ve got to have people obey both laws, or neither.
