Did Rich Girard Consider Pope Paul VI’s Encyclical ‘Humanae Vitae’ a Bunch of Bull?
Mayoral Candidate Queried Woman Who Sent Him Nude Photos About Condoms + I.U.D. — OPINION
MANCHESTER, NH — There’s something about a hypocrite, like Bill Clinton. A supporter of women’s rights, the charming rascal was the spider at web’s center in a White House characterized by a “pervasive climate of sexual harassment.” The oh-so-modern-middle-class-American President with the over-achieving wife and lovely daughter ruled what could have been termed, vulgarly, the “Oval Orifice” under his watch, a lord of appetite and sexual misrule aking to some petty suzerain of a trans-Caucasus principality.
I stopped perusing The Starr Report after my eyes glommed onto the phrase “oral-anal contact.” I never did find out whose ass got reamed.
And I don’t want to know!
Despite possessing a hungry pee-pee, Billy Boy warded off the impeachers who sought to knock him off his perch on the Catbird Seat.
The ordeal via televised trial ironically resulted in the transfiguration of the Top Rooster in the Inside-the-Beltway Pecking Order into BIG PECKER, who departed the Presidency more popular than Eisenhower, who — as Fonzie reminded the alt.world of Happy Days — won the war and thusly deserved a vote.
Despite his misguided thrusts towards Happy-Penis, something Jefferson did not include in the Declaration of Independence, We The People loved Bill Clinton, just as We Liked Ike.
He and Ike and could have won third terms handily. But for the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, Bill likely would be president now, if that hungry cock + bum ticker hadn’t KO’ed his physical constitution.
Some men know how to rule the roost. Most Others don’t. They fall flat on their asses into the shit when they try to conquer even a small spot on this, our blue marble planet Earth.
Rich Girard and the Path to Becoming a Better Christian
The Rich Girard for Mayor campaign is touting his endorsement by the anti-abortion New Hampshire Right to Life Political Action Committee despite his beseeching a potential lover about birth control methods the Roman Catholic Church considers sinful.
EWTN Global Catholic Television’s website features content that considers the intrauterine device (IUD) an abortifacient, which is defined by Merriam-Webster as “an agent (such as a drug) that induces abortion.”
According to EWTN,
The IUD does little or nothing to interfere with sperm migration or fertilization (conception). It achieves its birth control effect primarily by preventing the newly conceived human life from implanting in the uterine lining (endometrium) and is thus an abortifacient.
One would surmise that Richard H. Girard — as a Catholic activist who opposed the merger of Manchester’s Catholic Medical Center with Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, an abortion-services provider — would know likely come down on the side of an I.U.D. being an abortion-inducing device, which apparently is the mainstream of Catholic thought on the subject. Birth control to the true believer Catholic is a sin.
Maybe Rich Girard isn’t a hypocrite.
Perhaps he and other Catholic anti-abortion activists have a more enlightened view of the use of the I.U.D. and condoms, another birth control method that Girard advocated to his attempted seductee on the wriggling path of his serendipitous journey towards becoming a better Christian.
If he does believe in the fair, unsinful use of rubbers and coil, as a True Believer he seemingly is wrong and a hypocrite.
As far as I know — and I’m a Protestant — the papal bull on birth control issued by Pope Paul VI — who is on his merry way to sainthood — has not been repealed.
‘Humanae Vitae’
Pope Paul VI issued an encyclical “Humanae Vitae (Of Human Life)” in 1968. In the Section on “Unlawful Birth Control Methods,” Paul wrote:
Therefore We base Our words on the first principles of a human and Christian doctrine of marriage when We are obliged once more to declare that the direct interruption of the generative process already begun and, above all, all direct abortion, even for therapeutic reasons, are to be absolutely excluded as lawful means of regulating the number of children….Similarly excluded is any action which either before, at the moment of, or after sexual intercourse, is specifically intended to prevent procreation — whether as an end or as a means.
Paul also wrote, “…[I]t is a serious error to think that a whole married life of otherwise normal relations can justify sexual intercourse which is deliberately contraceptive and so intrinsically wrong.”
If intercourse within marriage that is “deliberately contraceptive” is “so intrinsically wrong,” what about cutting a slice from something other than the marital loaf?
I guess Rich Girard and his ever-lasting soul (to say nothing of his Mount Uncanoonuc-sized ego) ought to be grateful that Little Mel — his intended sperm receptacle — bitch slapped his lust to the kerb. Imagine if he did fuck her! It wasn’t from not trying.
According to Little Mel in private messages to this author, the two engaged in dirty talk much more graphic than that revealed to the Queen City during the 2014 sexting scandal. She also sent him nude photos, she said.
There was also rumors that Girard had sent her a pic of himself in the raw. Imagine what Joe Kelly Levasseur, Girard’s nemesis back in 2014, would have done with a snap of Richard H. Girard in the all-together, his tallywhacker as exposed as his vanity that always is on display!
The Big Bad Wolf Joe Levasseur reportedly sent texts from the Little Mel sexting exchange to the media and even the Bishop of Manchester!
And just imagine the ratings of a Joe Levasseur Show episode sporting a bare-assed Rich Girard as part of its political commentary. Joe would probably have 86ed his Alderman seat and be working at a commercial TV station in Worcester after the ratings surge of his Manchester public TV show blew out Comcast’s cable due to high demand!
Everybody loves a freakshow. Nobody in Manchester understands that better than Joe. When he lacks one, he’ll play geek himself to draw in the crowds.
Some More Musings From Pope Paul
Another effect that gives cause for alarm is that a man who grows accustomed to the use of contraceptive methods may forget the reverence due to a woman, and, disregarding her physical and emotional equilibrium, reduce her to being a mere instrument for the satisfaction of his own desires, no longer considering her as his partner whom he should surround with care and affection.
Of course, Paul VI was talking about the exigencies of conjugal love, that is, love between a married couple, “man and wife.” He didn’t really address birth control in the pursuit of a piece of ass outside the bonds of holy matrimony.
However, he was explicit that,
“Though it is true that sometimes it is lawful to tolerate a lesser moral evil in order to avoid a greater evil or in order to promote a greater good, it is never lawful, even for the gravest reasons, to do evil that good may come of it — in other words, to intend directly something which of its very nature contradicts the moral order, and which must therefore be judged unworthy of man, even though the intention is to protect or promote the welfare of an individual, of a family or of society in general.”
According to Richard H. Girard, two-time candidate for mayor who unsuccessfully tried to two-time his wife — who like Paul VI, should well be on her way to canonization — his inveigling Little Mel for some nookie was actually part of his stratagem to build her self-esteem, as he never really intended to shag Little Mel after all. By not having sex with her, he intended to break her of her whoring ways, a reasonable person would assume.
Did he ever wonder why his boneheadedness pissed her off so?
On Rich Girard’s part, the whole incident made him a “Better Christian,” according to his on-air “Act of Contrition.”
According to Wikipedia,
The Act of Contrition is part of the Sacrament of Penance and is prayed by the penitent after the priest assigns a penance and before he gives the penitent absolution.
In Queen City Slumberland, Rich Girard apparently acted as a Self-Styled Priest, his GAL (Girard at Large) radio show a church. He has his flock of disciples, including Jolly Jim Gaudet (he of the Xmas season cheer that includes mooning and getting busted for allegedly assaulting his daughter) and Big Ed Sapienza.
“Oh My Head!”
Popes used to issue their decisions as papal bulls, but now as in Paul VI’s time, they issued encyclicals — letters to the bishops that are binding on the faithful.
Maybe Rich Girard thought Paul VI’s lesson was just a bunch of bull.
