Pope Benedict XVI acknowledged Saturday that the Vatican's teaching against birth control was difficult as he praised a 1968 Church document that condemned contraception.
In a speech marking the 40th anniversary of the document, Benedict reiterated the Church's ban against artificial birth control as well as more recent teaching against using artificial procreation methods.

Drugs are much better than sex.
GOD YES!!!!......I've been addicted most of my life........I am hopeless........there is no cure......guess I will have to struggle with my addiction on my own...........what a shame....such a waste...........
........well..at least my prostate is happy....................... :o) ..........
....and to ask the same question everybody else is asking.................HOW WOULD BENEDICT KNOW?.........has he had some.......OR has he had NUN??????
How would he know?
My sentiments exactly! From his infinite wisdom and wide experience on the subject...Oh Yeah! I forgot about that celibacy thing.
Power is like a drug also, as you well know my dear Ratzinger.
Can celibacy become addictive? If one is addicted to celibacy, is there recovery? With whom besides oneself would one find recovery? All these unasked questions have already been answered by certain unnamed scandals which have destroyed young lives and cost the Catholic Corporation millions.
I am not prone to trust the mafia for loans anymore than I would trust this man with my salvation. If the pope represents Christ then why would religious leaders of His day want to have Him killed? It seems to me that this Pope person represents another character of the Bible referred to as the Pharisee of whom Christ warned to beware. Good advice, Messiah.
He should know. The church was in denial about it's pedophile priests for decades.
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Love is the drug I'm thinkin' of...
Hypersexuality - which I assume he's talking about - is a real and serious condition and has nothing to do with "addiction" --- ass-hat.

And religion is opium
Something about using it for their "masses"? Body and blood of christ and all that jazz . . . .
Just speaking as a recovering catholic here . . . .

I can't wait for his weekly advice column in The Villager.
I bet he prefers missionary.
Or pounding nail.
screw you pope
Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i´m thinking of
HEY BENNIE...how about a few words on PEDOPHILIA.?? HMMM HONEY???...

Then the whole world is Drug Addict!
If Church wouldn't ban Birth Control and Abortion, some people wouldn't be able to bring Monsters into this world!

Coming from an asexual being this is meaningless.
