Great to see it's not ok for someone to call homosexuality a disease, but it's ok for people to call Catholicism one? Another fantastic example of the fantastic moderation we have here! Gotta love how the Catholics are about the only group in the world that people have free reign to attack and bash without anyone giving two flying craps.

The pope didn't promote aids in Africa either. Just another example of people taking stuff he says way out of context for the sole purpose of serving their own agenda or (this wouldn't happen mind you) bash Catholicism. Absolutely shocking.

The Pope DOES promote AIDS in Africa by not enouraging contraception. The impoverished nations in Africa need contraception just as badly as they need food.

 

Nope, not by a long shot man. Go ask the Pope if he wants people in Africa to get AIDS, as I'm sure he'll say "Sure!" right? Last time I checked sex isn't a necessity to breathing and living. Now I'm not saying that that's a pratical position to take, but I am saying that the conclusion that the Pope wants people in Africa to get AIDS is nothing short of rubbish.

The pope doesn't want people in Africa to get AIDS but by discouraging contraception, he is not helping the situation at all. The Catholic Church has lots of programs to help poor people but poor people (or rich people or anyone else) are going to have sex. Its human nature and he is not going to be able to stop it.
