Is our culture still pushing pre-marital/extra-marital sex and obfuscating the benefits of one spouse for life? Yes? Then I'd say our culture is having a greater influence than the Catholic Church.
If condoms are the solution, why is it that venereal deseases increase with the introduction/social acceptance of contraceptives like condoms?

It's been 15 years, and still most people (including most Christians) have not picked up on the fact that the Catholic church concluded this long ago. In a papal statement on the subject of evolution, dated Oct. 22nd 1996, pope John Paul II stated that "truth cannot contradict truth", and therefore the Genesis story of the Bible needed to be interpreted metaphorically, not literally.
For those who are interested, the message is available here: http://www.ewtn.com/library/papaldoc/jp961022.htm
How is it that Christian people (Catholics in particular; the pope is supposed to be your earthly representative for God) just seem to "forget" this ever happened?
Why do you say Catholics in particular? When was the last time you heard of a Catholic group/organization pushing the creation story as science? Most of the "Catholics" I hear about in the news, push moral agendas contrary to Church teachings (i.e. trying to change or ignore moral teachings on contraception, abortion, homosexuality, and marriage) or push for women's ordination.
The few times I hear a Catholic group or organization speak about science is when they are discussing the merits of NFP, the arguments against embryonic stem cell research, or the medical affects of contraception. Usually they are defending the Church's teachings on these matters which is absolutely in line with statements made by the Pope who Catholics consider to be the Vicar of Christ (not representative for God).

2. SSL for virtual hosts is not supported by Internet Explorer (yet another problem with IE)
I am not sure why it is not working for you, however it works for me. I tested my copy of Windows XP with IE 8 with my instance of Lighttpd which has four domains with a UCC/SAN cert for the four domains from StartSSL all hosted on a single IP address.

4) Hosting https sites still require a unique IP for each site. If I, a a hosting provider, have 1000 sites on a server, I'd rather use one IP, than 1000 IPs.
I am currently hosting 4 different domains on the same IP address using UCC / SAN Certificates. From providers such as GoDaddy, they tend to be pricey, however StartSSL provides unlimited certs for the cost of identity and organization validation ($50/year). It is now more of a hassle to add a domain to the server since now I have to revoke and re-issue the existing cert, but it does allow me to use SSL on one IP address for multiple second level domains.

I am confused. Your point seems to be that variable length addresses do not incur a performance hit. You say that Tony provided pseudo-code which demonstrated "variable length" was not a problem. However you ask us to look it up ourselves while linking to an article which describes Tony's work history (which does not reference variable length addresses).
The grandparent was commenting on address length and the last lines of your comment purportedly to support your view provides an example based on frame size. Do you realize that address length and frame size are not the same and they really cannot be compared when talking about routing performance? Maybe if you said the size of the address parameter in the header and the size of the frame_size parameter in the header it would be more comparable, but then it would be obvious that it does not provide a meaningful example since both the address parameter and frame_size parameter are fixed length variables.
So are you talking about variable length addresses or variable frame sizes?
If the first, can you provide an example? If the second, how is it related to the GP's post?
