This song was from long before the RC sex abuse scandal. Birth control, abortion, masturbation, gay sex, anything that won't produce oodles of little Catholics and keep women in their "proper" role as homemakers and child-rearers, they're against. (Still, I thought it was also hilarious how the CoE bloke explained to his wife that because he was a member of the Protestant Reformed Church of England (I think he may have used the word "papist" at some point in reference to Catholics), he could use a condom if he wanted to; the Catholics had to have a baby every time they had sexual intercourse. (His wife was confused: "We're the same. We have two children...." [guffaws from audience].)
