The Vatican's view on on condoms has always made me feel a little sick.

Quite frankly, 1.5 million people in sub saharan Africa die every years from AIDS/HIV and the reason is largely down to the Vatican. Millions are at risk due to their views on contraceptives and the propaganda they've spread throughout sub saharan Africa.

It's sickening.

It's sad that the Vatican favours their scriptures over human life. They know condoms are a proven method of containing the spread of AIDS, and yet they still outright lie to their followers, even when they're dying in their millions.

It's a step in the right direction to say that condoms could be used to stop infection. But until they act on it and promote the use of condoms as an effective way to stop AIDS, and show some positive results from it, I'll kick up a fuss.

The church (in general) needs more forward thinking leaders like Bishop Desmond Tutu, and less fanatical leaders endangering the lives of their followers like the pope.

If i recall a while ago the pope said "I told you so". Reason for this was UN had funded huge programs regarding contraceptives and safe sex in Eastern Africa. This caused AIDS/HIV to increase because the population had some naive misconception and what not, so there was a big story on the pope explaining that contraceptives cant be that answer and the practice abstinity needs to be upheld.

Now I'm not a blind catholic i oppose some skewed ideology politically added since christian conception but I know whats wrong and whats right. and When a coutnry fucks itself to starvation and over population I dont blame the church.

There's a slavic proverb "A bad dancer  blames his legs".
