It's about spirituality and sex for those outside of the catholic realm. I'm not apologizing for them, but having lived as a catholic and living within an orthodox community, it's not my responsibility to chastise someone's spiritual leader's decision.

The Catholic Church has a well documented history of catching up with science centuries too late. When it comes to medicine having a "live and let live" philosophy about religion doesn't help.
We're talking about the same organization that molested children for years then systematically engaged in covering it up.

Science was also the fore front of many religions not just Catholics.
Broad stroke there... since it wasn't the entire organization nor was it the entire organization covering it up.

Because we all know that abstinence only has proven to be very successful. 
Abstinence only as a policy doesn't work, condoms do. |
not true.
When all my friends were busy fucking everything that moved, a few got STDs and some had children. I on the otherhand who was celibate for 3.5 years did not have any of that experience. Seems to have have worked for me.
