It is joining together in marriage that makes "one flesh". There are millions of couples all over the world that are unable to have sex for a variety of reasons. They remain together and celebrate being "one flesh". Marriage is about LOVE. It is not just for procreation. Why then do elderly people get married? Because there are benefits to having a loving partner. The RCC has a huge problem with homosexual priests and then they have their spokespersons try to set an agenda for married couples all over the world that would prevent them from a safe way to keep their families to a size that is right for them. To deny a condom to one with AIDS or other STDs is insane. Linking marriage or sexual union with the eucharist??? Jesus broke the bread and said it was HIS body. Cardinal seems to be really reaching! So the unmarried Cardinal claims that the use of a condom will prevent the couple from “becoming one flesh”.

He is a religious figure trying to dictate to a political machine in a completely different country. I am also tired of everyone talking about how giving money to other countries to promote birth control, safe sex, and informed decisions regarding abortion is ALL about abortion. It is NOT!

This “religion” has its own agenda which is often ant-family, anti-life, and all around against most forms of organized religion. This type of agenda will cause an eventual clash in our country which is still heavily religious and spiritual.
