The Kind of People that know about things like birth control

Such a history of moral authority:
Shocking reports have surfaced that reveal at least ten teenage boys were castrated in the 1950s by the Dutch Roman Catholic Church as a "treatment" for homosexuality, the Telegraph reports... The reports also uncovered minutes of official meetings held in the 1950s, which revealed directors of the Catholic institutions deciding parents did not need to be involved in decisions -- even with minors, Dutch News reports. They also proved government officials were present in meetings where the castrations were discussed. The Deetman Commission, led by Wim Deetman, was founded by the Catholic church in 2010 following widespread reports of sexual abuse in the church. In their report, the commission found the number of victims who grew up in church institutions to be between 10,000 and 20,000.

Wow! There's a nice name for a new RC church--- "Our Lady of Castration".

...directors of the Catholic institutions deciding parents did not need to be involved in decisions...

What state of our Union just passed a law that doctors need not inform women of facts regarding their pregnancy if it could possibly lead to an abortion? Religious extremists are all the same - they know with absolute certainty and have complete disregard for individual autonomy or morality.

Oddly, they do not seem to have done the same for any of the pedophile priests.
