The Vatican vs. Gertrude Stein (Part XXI)

THE VATICAN: With unparalleled arrogance, the United States is choosing to renounce its foundation on the faithful. The path of violation of the most fundamental human rights and of the integrity of marriage and the family which our nation is traveling is not accidental. As Catholics, we cannot fail to notice with the greatest sadness the number of our fellow Catholics who cooperate fully to the advancement of a national agenda which is anti-life and anti-family. At the root of the confusion and error about marriage is the contraceptive mentality, which would have us believe that the inherently procreative nature of the conjugal union can in practice be mechanically or chemically eliminated while the marital act remains unitive. It simply cannot be sold.

GERTRUDE STEIN: There is no pope.
