Irony in its finest. A group of catholic nuns on a tour bus teaching modern day sexual ethics and dismissing the church's claims as out of line with Christ's original message of love and compassion gets their book censored by the Vatican and suddenly this little known book becomes a best seller. A MSNBC host creams the church and puts the Nuns' book in the spotlight. I have to get a copy. You will get a laugh out of this video....poetic justice.

This is why I find it hard to see a point in censorship putting an age limit on stuff is fine but when you censor somthing it brings more attention to it and makes you want to get your hands on the infomation even more.

Some denials are made to be not applied, catholic culture works this way. They should be finalized to discourage girls to have sex because they are not aware of diseases and risk of early pregnancy. In a popular italian comedy, a father explains to his old-maid daughter that when he denied her to get boyfriends he was expecting her to defy. She was too compliant and she was wrong... Almost no one here takes it seriously, not even priests, but they can't say it
