Don't Catholics get HPV? Just like they can't get HIV? Really, the churches need to get their heads around the fact that people do not follow their doctrines very well.

Hi Ed...sadly I suspect that some Catholics do get HPV as well as HIV. But following your logic a rule or guideline should exist only if people follow it? That sounds like relativism at it worst. your logic we should do away with all laws that are not followed...hmmm. If you would like to understand better what the Church teaches I would be glad to try to help in that endeavor.

I am a SERIOUSLY well-schooled ex-Catholic - so I will decline your offer. What I really would like to see is the Catholic Church take cognisance of the fact that their teachings around reproduction and the inhibition of it are completely out of touch with the modern world - and promote the use of infection control agents like condoms.
