Convenient? At what cost? Morals?

That sounds like a pretty blase attitude.
AIDS is an epidemic in Africa with millions of people dying from it.
I’m pretty sure their religion is different than yours and the Pope, and chances are, they would think it convenient to have a little help…………condoms anyone?

I think instead of a condom i’ll just blast my load in the popes face and all over his funny hat, what a clown, looks like one too with his pope clown outfit

I like how he tells people not to fear evil spirtits and demons and the way to do this is by believing in another spirit named jesus. He does not say don’t feear them because they don’t exist he says that the only way you will be safe from demons is by using the jesus spirit against them. When grown people believe in spirits and devils and astrology I can see how the wool can easily be pulled over thier eyes. These religious wack-jobs are a bunch of brainless fruitcakes. they would still belive in Santa if someone didn’t tell them it was bullshit. Hey guess what there are no such thinks as demons and monsters people, wake the hell up before its too late. And no more religious wing nuts like Bush for president, you can see where that got us.

I do not believe the Pope is a moron. Catholic Church teaching has been and always will be that contraception is wrong. A grave moral evil. Just as a side note most all other christian religions also held the same belief before 1920 or so. So are morals relative? Should we change our views on moral issues because it’s convenient to do so? I understand that AIDS is an issue that needs to be resolved, we do need to find a cure. But at what cost and when do we change our stance on our own morals?

I think a much smarter stance could be adopted without sacrificing principles. Something along the lines of “Please, it’s best not to drive in the rain… but if you must, then use these wipers.”

I agree the pope is a moron.

The church is going out of its way to prove its own irrelevance (as usual).

You know what… not worth getting in a tizzy over this on here. I’ll just quote what the Pope said and let everyone judge for themselves whether or not this logic makes sense.

In response to written questions from reporters, the pope said this about HIV/AIDS: “You can’t resolve it with the distribution of condoms. On the contrary, it increases the problem.”

Yes… the distribution of condoms *increases* the spread of HIV/AIDS

The People are saying we can’t help ourselves, we gotta drive in the rain, dangerous or otherwise. The Aid Organisations are saying ‘here – fit these windscreen wipers – much safer than driving blind’.

The Pope is saying rubber wipers are wrong, instead don’t drive in the rain, people. Easy for him to say – he don’t drive, and can afford a chauffeur…..

If the Catholic church liqified 1% of it’s vast asset-wealth it could fund the medical teams needed to end HIV/AIDS world-wide. But they prefer to stand in jewel encrusted robes preaching from gold encrusted pulpits to the poor and downtrodden of the world.

Go figure…..

Yep. It is stupid.

Having said that, if I lived in Africa, I wouldn’t even use a public bathroom without a condom on. I don’t care who says it is wrong. At some point you just have to say, “You know what, I understand the church thinks this is wrong, but if I’m going to have sex in Africa, I probably ought to look out for my own well being.”

I think I could explain this one away to St. Peter.
