It is alarming that for a country that has a small area of around 300,000 sq. km., the Philippines already has 90M souls (July 2006 estimate) with a growth rate of 1.8 (one of the highest in Asia). We have the Roman Catholic Church to blame for this problem.
I am not sure what the heck are these bishops opposing against artificial birth control method. If they had their way, they wanted everyone to just keep your cock in your pants till your wife is in the 5 day safe period. The church has this idiotic notion that sex has to be procreation. This is just pure horseshit. They should not impose celibacy to its flock just because they themselves can't enjoy it (although I knew a lot of people of the cloth who have mistresses).
Sex is natural and essential for both mental health and a happy marriage. If it was a sin, then why the heck did God had to add this natural urge for us to indulge in sex? The Catholic Church scares our political leaders into killing any legislation that tends to promote artificial birth control method in health centers around the country. In the process, they take away the citizen's right to choose their mode of birth control. The worst part is, these idiots (I meant the bishops) had the gall to declare that overpopulation is not the root of the rampart poverty in the countryside. To hell with this bishops!
The thing I hate the most is that being a devout Catholic, President Arroyo won't support any radical changes to the current population control policy (approved by the bishops themselves). She would sacrifice the future of this country just to appease the whims of these idiotic bishops. I myself am a Catholic but I speak for a larger part of the Catholic population of this country when I say to hell with the bishops stand on artificial birth control. Our country needs an aggressive educational drive on the importance of artificial birth control methods to prevent unwanted pregnancies. The bishops are not the ultimate authority on this issue. God gave us the intelligence needed to decide on these matters.
