This is one of the most absurd things I have ever heard. I was raised Catholic. I am completely disgusted with this policy and for the Pope to come out and say that "You can't resolve it [HIV] with the distribution of condoms,… "On the contrary, it increases the problem." is just as irresponsible as someone who decides to have unprotected sex. The Pope has the opportunity to take a lead in helping solve this epidemic but rather helping the situation he takes a Ronald Regan approach and ignores the epidemic.
I’d encourage you too , to be OUTRAGED! Write the Vatican, write your priests and protest this. I know the Catholic religion and its policy on contraceptives but come on this policy is KILLING PEOPLE.
That’s my rant 4 today, Soon I will be discussing the outrageous numbers coming out of DC. For now, I must calm down.
