Again, the people decrying that this is about sex, don't seem to understand that this is about spirituality and not about sex.

I would argue that they (pro-Pope) want to frame this as a spiritual debate, but it's actually about medicine (the AIDS epidemic) and I still hold that it's far more dangerous to let a man in a fancy hat guide medical policy based on religious beliefs than to let a man in a fancy hat tell his followers how to have sex.
I think the Catholics and pro-Catholic crowd wants this framed as a spiritual debate because it's the only basis from which they can claim authority.
