I believe you are engaging in what is called, in the vernacular of debate, an "ad hominem" attack. You assail the Guardian's credentials (which, in itself, is not unreasonable), but in doing so, you do not address the issue i put forth: the Catholic Church is run by senile and retrograde living fossils.
Here are other reports of this ridiculous assertion by the Catholic Church via Reuters (http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsPackageArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=385870§ion=news) and the BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3176982.stm). I hope that they pass your journalistic muster.
