@IRFRANK,
Quote:I truly feel for your barmaid friend. Indeed a travesty if as you described. If she is a 'kept' woman as you say perhaps the church can provide some escape? I have to believe there is more to the story.
No Frank. There is no more to the story. I gave it to demonstrate that artificial birth control is demeaning to women. If the principle is accepted technology will move to perfect it.
The simple fact that such an operation is available tells me that it is now a common thing. Women being speyed. Like cats and dogs.
Brave New World forsees that being normal as does something similar in Alphaville and Blackeyes.
We are arrived in a situation where a woman, by being de-natured in such ways to cater for men's selfishness, has become more like a man from a sexual point of view. A risk free orifice. Thus heterosexuality merges into homosexuality. The muse is dying. The Church is right.
And to have recourse to abortion (46, 000,000 since Roe/Wade) when technology fails is way beyond the pale in my view. I know who the misogynists are if nobody else does.

First step was touching the moon." Bob Dylan. Licence to Kill.
The Church defends the purity of women against the forces of material commercialism. It has my full support. Notwithstanding a few "unspeakable" individuals who opponents of the Church would be lost without as their constant harping proves.
Fancy building a case to denature the feminine on a few incidents of the sort every large organisation can throw up and on the idea that if the Church was abolished the "unspeakable" individuals would go away. What gross fatuity.
There used to be a time when gambling was illegal. Commercial interests got it legalised and now the integrity of sport is being questioned. And also the integrity of the financial sector.
One can even argue now that the purest sport is pro-wrestling because everybody knows it is fixed and the fun is seeing how good the wrestlers are at doing it. Which they are.
Suppose the gladiators didn't actually kill each other when the thumbs down was given but faked it and then went to the next arena for the next gig. It might have been real to begin with but once an established professional system with schools (teams) came in what else would they come up with?
The Roman Catholic catechism warns against match fixing in strenuous terms. They "constitute grave matter" it says. (Clause 2413).
