Then, Steve, I suggest that you do as I do and pay no heed to what the Catholic Church says when it doesn't make sense. But Pope Francis is making a lot of sense in Mexico this week, and the Catholic Church has spoken eloquently and effectively and very rationally on economic justice and the rights of the poor and homeless, on the rights of immigrants, on mass incarceration and capital punishment, on peace, and on many other justice issues.

There's no question that the Catholic Church has a blind spot on matters related to sex - so be smart and don't go to them for sex education.
