Do you think adult "Catholics in South America and other (third world) countries" are so primitive and so stupid and so inferior to you, that they cannot make their own decisions?

Nice wording there, Joe! But hardly surprising given that the RC Church actively promotes such stupidity in its followers, especially those without the benefits of a Western Higher Education (like yourself) who are able to pick & choose which of its absurd doctrines to believe in or not, as is the case with most Roman Catholics of my acquaintance - but they're not the ones dying of AIDS havbing taken the church at its word, or dying in fields having delivered themselves of an unwanted baby, or clamouring around Medjugorge waiting to hear the latest enlightened insights of the BVM, or undergoing a life time of counselling because their priest couldn't keep his hands to himself. These people are in no way inferior, Joe - but they are the unfortunate ones who take the RCC at its literal word and must suffer as a consequence of its rancid promotions.
