An L.A. Times/Washington Post article published today says that in 1994, a Catholic Archbishop in Portland, OR, blamed the mother of a priest's illegitimate child for the child's existance, because she engaged in "unprotected intercourse...when she should have known that could result in pregnancy."

So, a Catholic woman *can* use birth control, as long as the result is to protect a priest from the results of his sin.

I may be wrong here, but isn't it the Catholic priests who are not even allowed to have sex?

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

Apparently, it's only wrong when you get caught.
