  • Rest in peace Pope John Paul II.


    I find it interesting that many critique the Pope on his strong stance against abortion, birth control, women in the clergy, etc. Although I do not agree with some of his views, I admire the fact that he believed in what he preached. He followed what he said. I have respect for him because of this.


    Maybe I'm lame, but I just don't understand how the Pope's stance on abortion and birth control lead to the world's overpopulation. I mean, if people are having premarital sex (and not using a condom) what makes one think they'd listen or change their ways if the Pope said "practice safe sex"? We have our own minds and will. Just because the Pope opposed (or promoted) certain views, doesn't mean his followers agreed or practiced what he was saying. Maybe I'm naive. Maybe people are referring to third world contries specifically aimed at married couples who continue to have babies? But do they really have babies because they believe or procreation? Or are they having babies cuz the more hands, the more help? I dunno...too complicated for me to think right now.


    Anywho..i'm stressed out...too many things on my mind...to many things to do...(scream!!).
