Neocon, reading the lack of an invocation of infallibility on the "every sperm is sacred" doctrine as some sign of flexibility is, shall we say, exceedingly speculative? It's certainly true that practicing America Catholics, don't much care what the Pope says on the subject. but the Catholic hierarchy in its current incarnation, doesn't much care what practicing American Catholics think either. JPII has stacked the college of cardinals with like minded "weak reasoners" to about as large an extent as possible, so the likelyhood of change on that particular doctrinal front any time soon is very remote.

It doesn't much matter for Americans, Catholic or otherwise. Official church doctrine on the subject is much more problematic in the poorer regions of the world, but that's another story.
