Vatican Keeps Hardline Sex Stance While Distinguishing Homosexuals
The Vatican issued a 6,000 word declaration condemning premarital sex and masturbation and reaffirming that homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered. It draws a distinction between transitory and incurable homosexuals, urging understanding for the former and sustained prudence for the latter, while calling for education on sexuality and responsible media portrayal. A commentary from Archbishop Bernardin commends the document as a defense of human dignity. Separately, Factory Magazine reports that replacing about 2,000 oil to coal steam plants could cost $38 billion over a decade but cut oil use by about two million barrels daily.

The panel warned regulators and FDA officials about uncertainties even if a five year $3 million to $10 million study with 52,000 rats and hamsters could not prove safety beyond doubt.
