- mayyybe... it's OK if you're doing it to have kids, even though you
- know you can't (without some sort of miracle - scientific or
- religious), then it's your *intention* that matters? If you do it
- *intending* to have a kid, it's OK.

- IMHO if sex is only OK for procreation in their eyes, then the
- Catholic Church should be encouraging AIDS tests and VD clinics. From
- what I've been told by Catholic frinds here and in Ireland, many
- church members have a very head-in-sand attitude (religion2 in my
- earlier definition)
