Dear Yuri, 

Please get an atlas. Look at a world map showing population density.
Look at a world map showing distribution of religions. Note that there
is no corelation between high population density and Roman
Catholicism. The most densely populated countries such as China, India
and Japan are not predominantly RC. Less densely populated countries
such as France, Spain and Italy are predominantly RC.  

You have been given the facts about what the RC Church teaches.  I
have told you before where you can read it for yourself if you don't
believe my summaries.  You have ignored that the RC Church explicitly
states that it recognizes population and economic factors as good
reasons for couples to choose to avoid having children.

I have also told you where you can find studies from unbiased sources
such as the World Health Organization about the effectiveness and
suitability for the Third World of natural methods of family planning. 
You do not appear to have read any of them or to have paid the least
attention to what I told you they contained.

You have also apparently ignored my requests to give some details
about your alleged experiences in the Third World that have so
strongly convinced you of a conclusion that flies in the face of all
this evidence.

I gave up on responding to your posts months ago because I did not
know how to deal with the way you ignore facts.  You just keep saying
the same untrue things over and over again.  The terrible thing is
that people start to believe things that they see repeated this way. 

I have no doubt that you sincerely believe what you are saying, Yuri.
But you are wrong. You cannot support your claims. If you put half the
energy into doing something constructive for the poor that you put
into ranting against the Vatican the world would be a better place.

I know you think that you are helping people somehow by demonizing the
Pope, but you are not.  You are not going to be able to truly serve
others until you face the truth.

Jayne
