I have just read the article and all is said so much better there ........

"The meaning of life" has one sketch errrm.... concerning the Catholic opposition to contraception...

Oh I believe that body and soul should be complementary (and I am not Catholic either!!!! Well not Roman Catholic ...... Anglo-Catholic lapsed into un-belief would be closish...) I meant that from the examples given, you cannot have both Spiritual and Physical fulfilment ...that one type of fulfilment reduces the possibility of the other rather increases it..... And in the Catholic church, unlike Protestant ones, you cannot combine the priesthood with marriage and family .......
