The Pope can't stop anyone in Africa from doing what they want ergo the Rwandan Genocide or Camorra in Naples or the U.S. led invasion in Iraq.
You're right. And it's precisely because his power is non-existent that he should shut the hell up about how and when people should fuck, and concentrate instead on the business of providing spiritual solace to those that need it.
You're ignorant as shit of social science I see. And little do you know how well trained in bigotry you are.
Many in the Western world have been trained - like we do dogs - to think a certain way. As my Africology teacher that is a Haitian and a Voodoo Priest points out, the United States to this day, does this with both the Catholic Church and Black peoples.
Tone and diction count tremendously in articles or essays in communicating messages. I can speak of the Great Britain or the island of Cuba. Where ignorance, poverty, and strife are found in Africa I can speak of its darkest, deepest sections and refrain from using such language to speak about high school dropouts, poverty, heroine addiction, and homicide in various parts of Naples, or knife fights in Scotland.
I served over in war with the U.S. Marines and like countless other Catholics (some my Catholic German ancestors in the U.S. Civil War) we have laid filled this nations battle fields with our corpses and corpses of It's enemies so that that flag that waves can be raised for one more day, or more especially corporate and political interest can fulfill the ends of the machinations.
Nothing in Islam in U.S. history has ever suffered like the Catholic experience in the U.S. Frequently attacked, Churches burned, in the 1800's and Italians lynched second to Blacks down South. What Catholics did was build universities, hospitals, and provide hundreds of thousands if not millions of soldiers through the course of her history. Yet Americans on the political left - keeping with the Two Party partisan propaganda that affects this nations conscience - encourages Americans of all social class and backgrounds to seek to "understand" Islam and know it to be a beautiful and peaceful religion. Point blank I served with few Muslims in the Corps other than Black-Americans part of the Nation of Islam (N.O.I.). And unlike the disproportionate numbers of Catholic Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and Irish-Americans in the U.S. Marine Corps and Army, goddamn few to no Islamic Arab-Americans serve in those outfits.
I take it as a personal insult that to this day, few Americans (more appropriately United Statesians) know jack shit about Catholicism but attribute an enormous amount of falsehoods to it.
I believe you are a European. Ignorance - shalt I say the "darkest, deepest parts of Europe" - produce walking morons today on the subject.
The Pope is a Catholic. I know this goes over the heads of most secular people (maybe I need to present the subject matter in the format of fill-in-the-blank or multiple choice) but when I was a practicing Catholic I was as responsible as the Pope or as any nun to adhere to Catholic teaching. If the current Pope is adhereing to Catholic teaching on sex and some individuals person in Kenya is not then that comes down to what Protestants would call "personal accountability" - which admittedly, in between the WWII and Generation Y genertation there exist little to none among whining lay Catholics or former Catholics.
I'm one of the biggest sinners to have ever trekked through Catholicism. Needless to say I went to confession often. I'm not even a practicing Catholic today - though I still hold respect for its well developed religious philosophy (aka theology) - but to this day, whatever I enjoy sexually, in whatever format that may be, I chalk that up to me and I don't blame the Catholic Church or the Pope. If I request to be a sexual slave of someone, or if I'd become a dominant filling some subs mouth full of my cock, that is me as a man. I answer to God. No need for me to disparage the Pope or the life of Mother Teresa because one or both of them may have excelled in a spiritual, athletic fitness, like a middle weight boxer before the bright lights and entrance into the squared "ring." If I'm not as strong in certain areas of my character then I'm just not as strong.
(This is not to say I don't recognize the complexity life. Martin Luther was a brilliant man, and perhaps in some ways sincere, yet he was delusional and likely bipolar. Years of abuse from his mother and father, and his father a pagan with terrifying tales of goblins, scarred his mind. Thinking you see the devil, getting into "shit" throwing and fart fights with the devil, and bending over, exposing your ass, and telling the devil to come jump up your ass is not the mark of sanity. Likewise a murder can be good person and a prostitute contracting HIV an emphatetic person who has had a life shaped by many tragedies)

maybe, a religious club to beat the believer into submission and control, (my thoughts only).
