The Vatican released to the media wire later last week that birth control pills are the main cause for male infertility and pollution. Pedro Jose Maria Simon Castellvi, president of the International Federation of Catholic Medical Associations, released a statement that basically alluded to the release of a large quantity of hormones entering the environment through females’ urination. Flavia Franconi, of the Society of Italian Pharmacology, also commented on this claim saying that the same hormones found in the pill such as oestrogen, is evident in plastics, disinfectants and meats.
There are several organizations that disagree with the Vatican’s claim, and though I personally try not to publicly disclaim my religious and spiritual views by agreeing on various groups’ statements, this report that the Vatican has release sound valid to me. What do you think?
As the pill becomes more and more common, and various generations of girls and women grow, there are startling occurrences such as early signs of puberty, cancer rates, emotional disorders, etc. that seem not as nature attended. Now I know extra hormones are being pumped into the air from some source, and no one can identify all of the sources yet. But I know whenever I see commercials for pills that only give women 4 periods a year or hear women more and more unaware the way and purpose of our cycles, I cannot help but think that our society’s overuse of the pill has made it into the synthetic artificial time keeper of our bodies. The fact is, the true time keeper is the woman.
