Pope under Fire, But Truth sets us free

An article from Times Online says that Pope Benedict is the Pope who says NO.
I read this and thought, huh?

The article (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article5343333.ece),
is actually very interesting, mainly because everything the Pope has
allegedly said 'no' to, is really just a affirmation on the stance of
the Church founded by Jesus Christ 2000 years ago.

The new "Dignitas Personae" (Dignity of the Person) released by the
Vatican is right on cue in revealing to the world the precious gift of
life and dignity for life. Yet the modern world with our covers firmly
over our eyes see this as a NO, instead of a liberating YES to the
possible Freedom found from the truth.

The document condemns artificial fertilization, human cloning,
"designer babies" and embryonic stem-cell research. It goes on
further, condemning the "morning-after pill" and the drug RU-486,
which blocks the action of hormones needed to keep a fertilized egg
implanted in the uterus. It said such drugs, as well as the IUD
(intrauterine device), fell "within the sin of abortion" and were
"gravely immoral".

Relative Moralism has truly hit the streets, and I pray that we can be
servants that may help in spreading the Good News of the Lord, so that
the truth may set us free. The gifts of these doctrines, or rather,
teachings are a most valuable and wonderful gift to the world.

Even More reason for the spread of PJPIIs Theology of the Body,
because if we only realize how messed up our ethos really is (our
moral compass), then we could start to rebuild and would find that
Pope Benedict is not saying No, but instead is pointing us in the
right direction of the ultimate YES, a yes at the banquet table with
our Lord God in Heaven.

May God be Praised,
Merry Christmas

To add on:
the pope wrote that contraception "means negating the intimate truth of conjugal love, with which the divine gift (of life) is communicated."

The pope also said that the "world, as well as many of the faithful, ha[s] a lot of difficulty understanding the message of the church,"
which he said intends to protect "the beauty of conjugal love." He added, "Technological answers often seem the easiest, even to great human questions," but "technology cannot substitute for a mature approach to freedom when love is involved." Benedict said the church's support for "natural solutions to infertility" and opposition to assisted reproduction through sperm or egg donation and the freezing of embryos are based on the same reasoning.
