A Slum Priest's Perspective on the 'Effing' Catholic Sin: Ban on Contraceptions

Condoms are what I call a doubtful moral issue. Go ahead, write it down. This is a doubtful more issue. It's not murder, it's not abortion. Doubtful. Moral. Issue. Now, for me to tell people they must follow my religion and my religious beliefs on a doubtful moral issue that can put lives in danger -- does put lives in danger -- well, that is the height of arrogance."

Give me ten minutes and I'll show you a side of Iraq that only a few of you have heard about or witnessed. No hype, no BS, no hidden agenda-- just authentic Iraq as I and others have experienced it. Every word of it is true.

Brief video of Shane Claiborne telling a Wild Goose audience what happened when we arrived unarmed and with no protection at the Iraq-Jordan border in 2010, and then when we ignored warnings and continued on to Rutba, Iraq. Spoiler alert: We weren't kidnapped and beheaded, as predicted.

Whatever it is that you are doing... stop.

Deepak Chopra

He's referring to that "thing" that hinders spiritual growth and professional success. If you know what he's talking about, then you know what you need to do. Or not do.

If you don't understand, refer back to this later when that "thing" crops up in your life.

The sky is the limit? Not!
