I'm still seeing the same unspoken assumption in this analogy. Catholics are going to get better sex advice from the pope than from Dr. Drew because the advice of the latter is going to be largely irrelevant when it isn't something that the pope/Bible/dogma is fully capable of addressing.

When it comes to technique and intimacy tips, sure, I doubt he's of much use. I already said that.
You're missing
my point: that's not the whole of sex advice. It's still incorrect to say that he's categorically a poor choice for sex advice. He's a poor choice for
your purposes. There's certain aspects of sex that don't require firsthand experience, most notably but not limited to successful abstinence and moral guidelines.
Just for the hell of it, to continue the trend of bad analogies: far better than detailed advice on how to rob a bank is the advice to avoid such a felony. The career crook has more expertise, but some man in a fancy hat off the street likely has better advice.
