so long the third world continues to reproduce faster than their own ability to feed themselves, poverty will continue. it is that simple.

Bit of a chicken and egg question here. I agree that it is important to make contraceptives more easily available, and for family planning information to be more widely accessible. But the churches are by no means the only problem here. Many of these countries are one step out of agrarian cultures where the large family has traditionally been an essential source of labor in the fields, and the value system that places a premium on fertility - which often antedates Christian influence - remains in force. The best way to combat this is through education, industrialization, and economic development, all of which will be slowed down if we don't allow our companies to move jobs into these countries.
