"Many people think the Catholic Church&amp;apos;s position on contraception is Medieval. They&amp;apos;re wrong  -  it&amp;apos;s several centuries older than that.\n\"Because of its divine institution for the propagation of man, the seed is not to be vainly ejaculated, nor is it to be damaged, nor is it to be wasted,\" wrote Clement of Alexandria in 195 AD.\nThe church&amp;apos;s thinking has changed very little in the roughly 19 centuries since then, so we have no doubt Clement of Alexandria would have approved of the decision announced this week by Robert Vasa, bishop of the Diocese of Baker, to end the church&amp;apos;s 92-year relationship with St. Charles Medical Center in Bend."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
