Catholic bigotry

The song is an obvious example of anti-Catholic bigotry. It's sad that Wikipedia has devolved into a hate site that traffics in anti-Christian and especially anti-Catholic bigotry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.32.91.98 (talk) 06:25, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Catholic doctrine

The article should perhaps allow some space to expose what Catholic doctrine on the topic actually is, instead of deriving various misconceptions from it. The Church's doctrine is not that every sperm is sacred, but rather that every embryo is sacred (see creationism (soul)). The moral teaching is that every human person is willed by God at the moment of their biological conception. This view is neatly exposed in the recent magisterial document Dignitas Personae, on the dignity of the human person. However, it should be made clear that the Church's opposition to contraception and its opposition to embryonic termination are not the same thing, since both are separate parts of Catholic moral theology that are covered in different sections of Humanae Vitae.

The song speaks to the questions the children put to their father. Why not use contraception? Why not sterilization? Nothing in the skit mentions embryos. It's obvious that you put work into your response, but you're answering a question that has no relevance here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.66.99.129 (talk) 19:08, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Anyway, it's ironic that the Catholic Church would oppose sterilization given that at least one of the Church Fathers practiced it on himself. LonelyBoy2012 (talk) 00:07, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's not at all ironic. Origen was anathematized and condemned, and the Catholic Church considered him a heretic until recently. --70.36.140.233 (talk) 10:33, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Logic and "Straw Men"

I deleted the line, "Taken as a logical argument, "Every Sperm Is Sacred" is an example of the straw man fallacy" from the "Influences" section. It seemed to be a really odd non sequitur with no bearing on the rest of the article. Literate Pervert (talk) 08:03, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Minions&more 1 have a song in it that is very similare to Every Sperm is secreat. Its the first song called The Wennie. You should get royalties
