stof said: @ Alterego-X The Catholic Church's positions and actions regarding condom use, family planning and other contraceptives is pretty well documented. And it's not a case of "do what the church says" because that's stupid and you can't stop sex. It's more a case of "believe what the church says. And there are numerous instances of the church's officials stating that condoms are evil, ineffective, dangerous and even more likely to cause aids. The fact that the catholic church has blood on it's hands over condom use in the third world is inarguable. |
Not wearing a condom because the church says so IS a case of "do what the church says".
If anyone is having sex with AIDS victims, and spreads it to various other people, while not using a condom because the Pope says so, that individual is only using what the Pope says as poor excuse anyways.
"You can't stop sex"? Probably there are several hundred millions of monogamous couples not using condoms, who are A LOT less likely to get STDs than people who use a condom while having sex with various people, including AIDS infected.
For the record, I don't agree with the Pope about condoms being evil, (amongst various other things), I'm just saying that what the Pope does isn't evil either, he is just trying to communicate a set of ideals, and its not his fault if some retards manage to cherry-pick some of them in the single combination that is the most like to kill them.
