Admin_2 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Pretty sickening, especially considering the amount of power and control the Catholic Church commands in Brazil. "The Brazilian health minister has accused the nation's Catholic Church of an "extreme" move after it opposed an abortion for a nine-year-old girl reportedly raped and made pregnant by her stepfather. Jose Gomes Temporao said on Thursday he was "shocked" by the church's "radical" position, saying it wrongly put the young girl's life in danger. Temporao's comments came after Jose Cardoso Sobrinho, an archbishop in the northeastern city of Recife where the girl is from, said the girl's mother, doctors and others involved in the abortion decision would be excommunicated from the church. "The law of God is above any human law," the archbishop told the Globo newspaper on Thursday. Abortion is illegal in Brazil, a strongly Catholic nation, although exceptions are allowed in cases of rape and when the mother's life could be endangered. Girl 'in danger' Doctors said the girl was 15 weeks pregnant with twins when the abortion was performed. Health officials said the girl's life had been in danger. "As doctors, we could not allow a girl of nine to suffer like this or until she paid with her own life," Olimpio Moraes, one of the doctors involved in the abortion, told the Reuters news agency. The pregnancy was discovered last week when the girl complained of pain and was taken to a clinic. Police said the her stepfather had been arrested and had admitted sexually abusing the girl from the age of six, local news websites reported. Abortion remains a contentious issue in Latin America, and debate in Brazil over the controversy grew after a second young girl, aged 11, was revealed to have become pregnant following alleged sexual abuse by adoptive father, although she is expected to keep the baby."

But seriously, this is where this whole religion story gets taken too far. It's one thing to believe in a book where a guy turns water into wine (that's pretty damn cool), but when it becomes matters of this caliber, the common sense police need to step in.

Stramash Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 YAOUNDE (Reuters) - Pope Benedict on Tuesday reaffirmed the Roman Catholic Church's opposition to the use of condoms in the fight against AIDS as he started a visit to Africa, where more than 25 million people have died from the disease in recent decades. The Pope, who arrived to a tumultuous welcome in the capital of Cameroon, also said the continent's people were suffering disproportionately due to the global challenges of food shortages, financial crises and climate change. "It (AIDS) cannot be overcome by the distribution of condoms. On the contrary, they increase the problem," he said in response to a question about the Church's widely contested position against the use of condoms. The disease has killed more than 25 million people since the early 1980s, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa, and some 22.5 million Africans are living with HIV. His words were some of his most explicit on the use of condoms to stop the spread of AIDS since his election in 2005. The Church teaches that fidelity within heterosexual marriage, chastity and abstinence are the best ways to stop AIDS. It does not approve condoms but some Church leaders have been calling for allowing their use in rare cases between married heterosexual couples where one partner has the disease. "The only solution is two-fold: the first is a humanisation of sexuality, a human, spiritual renewal which brings with it a new way of behaving among people and, secondly, a true friendship, especially for those who are suffering, a willingness to make personal sacrifices," he said. He called for "correct behaviour regarding one's body." :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 C'mon chaps and chapettes, we should rejoice at stories like that. No atheist ranting on any 'ternet forum could ever do as much damage to organised religion (and catholicism in particular) as those delusional, soutane-frocked child molesters do themselves. We ought to encourage them to share their 'pearls of wisdom' with the public more often for all to see just how far removed they really are from reason or morals. Just one lil' problem in the light of these 2 stories...I can't eat as much as I want to chunder... :puke_right: :puke_right: :puke_right: :puke_right: :puke_right: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
