Vaticano at Rome (https://campelodemagalhaes.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/vatican-from-the-air.jpg)
The Vatican was a State and is a State with temporal power, corruption, material culture and in my opinion don´t represent more than itself.
A new leader more «human» don´t change that and himself manifest an old culture of negativity with incredible words:
Pope «said it’s not true that to be a good Catholic “you have to be like rabbits”. On the contrary, he said “responsible parenthood” requires that couples regulate the births of their children, as church teaching allows. (...) "God gives you methods to be responsible,” he said.
He said there are many “licit” ways of regulating births that are approved by the church, an apparent reference to the natural family planning method of monitoring a woman’s cycle to avoid intercourse when she is ovulating.» http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jan/20/catholics-dont-have-to-breed-like-rabbits-says-pope-francis
«(...) during his in-flight press conference en route home from his Philippines trip, we hear Pope Francis telling us that we don’t after all have to breed “like rabbits”.
What he is saying, it transpires, is that Catholics should use one of several “natural”, church-approved methods of contraception. But this it seems to me only serves to focus attention on something illogical at the heart of the church’s traditional teaching on birth control, which is: if the point is that God should have space to “intervene” and make a pregnancy happen, surely He/She can intervene just as effectively via a torn condom or a missed pill as via a mistaken calendar calculation.
One of Pope Francis’s strongest messages during his Philippines trip seemed to be that today’s families are under threat from efforts to redefine what “family” is, but I wonder whether the truth isn’t that the Catholic church is under threat from an avalanche of common sense that is now unstoppable.
The truth is that the pope a charismatic and decent-seeming guy whose finger is a good deal closer to the people’s pulse than his predecessor’s was is tying himself in knots trying to appear “modern” at the same time as adhering to official teaching. And it simply won’t wash. The church has been peddling a nonsense on contraception for almost 50 years. The vast majority of us church-going, “faithful” Catholics have voted with our gonads and ignored it, and at some point (soon, please!) Rome is going to have to admit it has been wrong, and that the “contraceptive culture” is not about a lack of respect for human life (...).» http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jan/20/catholics-breed-like-rabbits-contraception-con-pope
