Well . . . as long as the priests use condoms when visiting male prostitutes, or raping the kids in their care, everything is fine.

A bit OTT ? . . yes, so are their crimes and so is their boss's naivety.

BUT . . . as Arthur said, it gives good RCs (and there ARE millions of them) the option to control both their health and population concurrently.

As has been observed above, it brings the RC church into the 20th Century (sad fact is, we are all in the 21st). But it IS undeniably progress.
