Noted Sex Expert Pope Benedict XVI says that "sex can become like a drug"
My friend Daryle Conners meets the Pope shortly before
she interviewed him for her Vatican II documentary
Pope Benedict XVI admitted on Saturday that the Vatican's teaching against birth control was difficult as he praised a 1968 Church document that condemned contraception.
In a speech marking the 40th anniversary of the document, Benedict reiterated the Church's ban against artificial birth control as well as more recent teaching against using artificial procreation methods.
"What was true yesterday remains true even today [Pope Paul VI's 1968 "Humanae vitae]. The truth expressed in 'Humanae vitae' doesn't change; on the contrary, in the light of new scientific discoveries, it is ever more up to date," the pope added. "No mechanical technique can substitute the act of love that two married people exchange as a sign of a greater mystery," Benedict said.
Il Papa expressed concern that human life risks losing its value in today's culture and worried that sex could "transform itself into a drug" that one partner had to have even against the will of the other. Did he learn this from studies, or from the histories of his minions, the Priests?
