Why is the pope still living by the books of the fourteenth century?

At a time when religion is such a sensitive issue, and countries are trying to educate young minds to accept different faiths, and cultivate understanding between people of different faiths and close communication gaps, a man of such a rank as the Pope had to stand there before university students and ridicule Islam.

OK, I'm open to your point of view. I'd like to know why, you think, he did what he did.

It looks to me like he was criticizing Islam subtley.

Even if the Pope was merely quoting an emperor of the fourteenth century, why did he do so? We have enough hatred and enmity in the present world, and we don't need anymore.
Sure, he made no statement that he agreed or disagreed with the emperor of bygone days, but what was his ulterior motive in quoting such a remark?
Why did the Pope CHOOSE to quote a fourteenth-century man?

Act with disbelief if someone were to say "My wife is pregnant, and she says she's a virgin", when your entire faith is based on someone saying that very thing 2000 years ago?

I'm not saying that Jesus wasn't born of Immaculate Conception, because that is not what I'm questioning. What I'm questioning is why true believers would not at least wonder if this is not the second coming you were promised, and instead automatically assume they have been sleeping around.

I don't want to have to learn too much or spend too much time going to a church, or whatever. I want an easy religion. Here's your chance to sell your religion to a willing convert, convince me.

That we can directly see or experience today.

I tend to think that the ones I know were actually influenced by the people following the religion and not God, but still I want to know.

Thank you.

Here's an article relating to the abortion pill http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060915/hl_afp/healthbritainmedicineabortion_060915142230

While it states that in Britain abortions are still not decreasing despite it's availability, it has helped with abortion rates in the U.S.

Here's my question. One of the biggest reasons why pro-choice advocates do not want restrictions placed on abortion is because that would not allow exceptions for cases like rape and incest. What I have to wonder is, that if the availability is there to use this pill in those cases and abortions still are not significantly going down, is abortion primarily being used as a method of birth control? If so, doesn't it seem more logical to encourage women who are not ready for children to find ways to prevent the pregnancies from occuring?

What's your thoughts on this?

How can we reduce unwanted pregnancies without abortions?
