Hey, long time no see. I'm not sure how busy you are or how full your plate is. I've been quite busy off wikipedia, which is why I'm coming to you now. Do you think you could take a look at ] and perhaps clean it up? From a brief read through, it looks like the last sections particularly are full of RS, OR, and neutrality issues. I know you are familiar, to an extent, with this sort of subject matter, and I trust your judgment and experience here on wikipedia. If you don't have time to work on an article clean up, or you find nothing problematic, sorry for bugging you :) Hope you are well.-]&nbsp;</sup>]] 23:48, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

CCL may not be neutral, but the studies cited on the page are. The problem here is that "Contraceptive Technology" is very biased against natural birth control in favor of physical methods (devices, hormone treatments, etc...). Either way, we're dealing with a biased source. I just wanted to update the article with current information and statistics in an effort to improve the table for the greater good of Misplaced Pages and the readers thereof. I will not revert your edit, as I am not interested in an edit war here, but please consider reinstating the information that I took time to research to be included.

==Religion and abortion/contraception==
I guess my main complaint about the ''religion and contraception/abortion'' article(s) is that it doesn't address specific views on new forms of contraception/abortion such as female condoms and morning-after pills or things like the discarding and freezing of bad embryos. Also, the views of the RCC are rather specific and have little to do with liberal protestant moralities. I think the best thing to do would be to eventually create an article on '']'' and '']'', which specifically address these issues, when a bit of the controversy cools down. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 23:46, 12 December 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==Consensus of Cardinals==
Regarding AIDS and condoms, I would think that the current ''consensus among cardinals'' against the use of condoms in those situations actually is official Church teaching. Although Church documents do not really talk about AIDS much, if you look at the article ], you find out that even some of the most moderate Cardinals like ] are against the use of contraception to prevent AIDS.


{{Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2015/MassMessage}} ] (]) 13:09, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
Also, the fact that papal declarations have already been made on the issue actually count as Church teaching, because of the theological concept of ], by which the positions commonly articulated by the Pope and the College of Bishops immediately become Church teaching when they are publicly pronounced in a sufficiently coherent way.
<!-- Message sent by User:Mdann52@enwiki using the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User:Mdann52/list&oldid=691995604 -->


== ] ==
This type of consensus approach is not in any sense unique to the Church and actually applies to other major organizations such as modern States and NGOs. For instance, if you want to know the positions of the U.S. Democratic Party, first you would read party literature, and then if you need more information, you would ask for the views of the party leader (Obama). If that is still not enough, you would ask all the major Democratic representatives in Congress and in the Senate. If a consensus position emerges, then it is the ''de facto'' position of the party in power.

==Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity==
:You're absolutely right; My edit to the article didn't accurately convey my concept of the RCC's position. My understanding is that the teaching against contraception has such extensive and long-standing support that is has gone beyond a "current teaching" and has become immutable. Contraception, if I understand correctly, is a sin of intent: if a couple has a "contraceptive mentality" while using NFP, they commit the same sin as a couple that uses a barrier method. It's not clear if use of a condom with the intent of preventing disease is actually contraception.

== Extended confirmed protection ==
:Church statements that I have read against condom ''promotion'' (not ''use'' of condoms to prevent disease, but the promotion of such use) do not use a "condoms are immoral" argument. Instead, they say such programs promote promiscuity, which increases disease transmission, and so are counterproductive. That a consensus exists against condom promotion programs does not imply that a consensus exists that an individual's use of condoms as a disease preventative is a sin.


{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Lyrl. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
:Even if such a consensus on inherent immorality of condoms (regardless of the intentions of their users) exists, it is relatively new and has greater dissent among theologians than the teaching on contraception. I don't believe this teaching is yet on the level where it should be considered immutable.


] (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned ] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following ] with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
:Does that make sense? If my understanding is correct, I'd like to find a way to convey that in the sexual ethics article. If I'm all off base, I apologize. Either way, thank you for taking the time to explain things to me. ]<sup>] </sup> <sub> ] </sub> 16:25, 22 July 2009 (UTC)


In July and August 2016, ] established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
::Opposition to contraception is not a theological dogma, like say the Immaculate Conception or the Assumption, but it is one of the Ten Commandments : thou shalt not commit adultery. That's pretty high up on the values scale. To make an analogy, by using the interpretative system of ], it is almost as if Moses was a previous Pope of the Catholic Church and that his morally infallible commandments were an essential part of the ''magisterium'' of the early Church, the Church of ancient Israel. If the Church were to abandon those commandments, not just adultery but any of them, including stealing or murder, it would be a major attack on her historical and spiritual foundations, and it is likely that the Church would actually begin to disintegrate like the Anglican communion today, which has been really hurt badly by the rejection of the anti-adultery commandment by the Episcopal Church in the United States. ] (]) 17:20, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

::::::I suppose that ''using latex'' may not be the same as ''using condoms''... but only to the extent that there is no sexual activity of any kind involved. Paul VI said in Humanae Vitae that all sexual relations need to be open to life, a teaching that is at the heart of the Church's moral theology. If engineers, doctors or merchants have some kind of non-sexual use for the contraceptive material, a usage which could be beneficial for the whole of society, I do not think the Church would really be able to intervene in those types of situations.

::::::Originally, the Church was essentially against the practice of coitus interruptus, and that was before condoms became popular, so in a sense She thinks condoms are just a sophisticated modern form of coitus interruptus. And regarding dissident theologians and laypeople, please note that the concept of Magisterium does not include either, it only includes Popes, Cardinals and Archbishops, because theologians are essentially regarded as middle men, scholars whose first and foremost task is to explain to the laity and to the general public what the Church believes and teaches, and not just disseminate their own personal views. ] (]) 17:18, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Information icon Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:09, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Lyrl. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

  • Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
  • A bot will post a notification at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Notification of imminent suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Information icon Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next several days. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time).
