So? It's a basis with vital importance. Catholicism may not have it exactly right, but take the morality entirely out of discussions about sex and you're liable to end up a well-informed, well-experienced jackass.
I think the anti-Catholics want this framed solely as a medical debate because it's the only way to marginalize the Pope's thoughts as wholly irrelevant. Which they aren't.

There's nothing dangerous about abstinence.
