The pope says condoms are not the answer to the AIDS epidemic in Africa?!?

[arpoky]

One thing many people don't get: Condoms are not the solution to getting rid of HIV and AIDS. If someone has been infected, they are just going to have to suck it up get over their sex drive. The only way to eradicate HIV and AIDS is to quarantine the infected, as in prevent that group from coming into sexual contact with the general population, not to mention giving blood transfusions and other exchanges of bodily fluids. God bless the most reverend Pope Benedict XVI!

[roac7777]

Yes the Pope is a dick, he is also homophobic, sexually repressed, a harbourer of child rapists and has fascist views regarding sex in general.

[Cacowninja]

Why can't people in Africa use common sense and not have sex? I am by no means agreeing with the Pope I agree with birth control but people are so hungry for sex that they think a condom will solve everything.

[NVevan]

@Cacowninja are u seriously arguing with human nature?

@roac7777

Did you respond to the wrong person? I am answering to Cacowninja.

[roac7777]

@justforflag2 My mistake, sorry for the error

[roac7777]

@justforflag2 Why did not your parents use common sense and not have sex? I know this comment is 4 months old but I was so appalled by your racist and religiously bigoted comment I could not pass it by.,

Why I don't see anyone mentioning HPV which your can contract through skin on skin contact. In this case condoms cannot prevent the spread of HPV. People educte yourselves. The pope stance is that couples should be faithful and sex should be an act of love instead of lust? Is there anyone here who can proof that condoms are 100 percent reliable in stopping the spread of HIV? Some people who use condoms wrongly still contracted HIV.

[pdynamics1]

@hetismij21: Correct! Finally I'm seeing some common sense wisdom. Think about this for a sec: The U.S alone has 3000 abortions PER DAY despite the wide availability of birth control devices. Orphans, disease, etc. is prevalent even though condoms are available. The root of the issue is people's ATTITUDE towards sex

[pangetska]

Iong Iive the POPE!

[karljfpower]

I think Bareback Benedict needs to shut up.

[singapore7773]

long live the pope

[EmbrunFalcon91]

condoms aint the solution, bombing them and killign all those blacks is

[rock9711]

can a pedophile priest wear condoms?

[777ChiRho]

@rock9711 You do realize of course that the same progressive people that want to normalize birth control among even Catholics, are the same that would allow (prefer) homosexual priests right?

[Hottides]

Strangle the Pope with a condom!!!

[gabriel30962]

@Hottides this is the voice of the devil!

[luis1coelho]

I totally subscribe your words nanabonniez. And no, guitaro5000, condoms and any type of contraception is allowed. Full stop !!!

[nanabonniez]

With all due respect, do you know the data from Uganda and Botswana? In Botswana Bill Gates and Merck spent 13 Billion $ for condoms and condom promotion and the AIDs rates went up to the highest in Africa. In Uganda they listened to The Popes' message of monogomous relations and chasity and the rates went down from 22% of the population to 6% in just six yrs. Uganda has the lowest rate of AIDs in Africa now. The message of monogomy is working in Africa and the Philippines.

[MrAlexanderMadison]

The program implemented in Uganda was called ABC: A for abstinence, B for be faithful, AND C FOR CONDOMS. Promoting monogamy is fine, but to brush off the fact that condoms helped reduce the spread of HIV in Uganda is dishonest at best, and malicious at worst. If you believe that condoms are immoral, and will keep you from living a rightous life that is your business; but in turn you have no right to impose your views on others, nor hinder medical progress that saves lives.

If you believe that condoms are immoral that is your private conviction, but you have no right to impose it on others, nor do you have the right to hinder medical progress that saves lives.

[777ChiRho]

@MrAlexanderMadison No having sex with HIV positive people spreads the disease. Do you understand that? If you give condoms to HIV positive people they are having sex, right? Wouldn't you be more likely to get the disease with someone who has it even while using a condom than not having sex at all? The condom is just "masking" the problem and making it worse.

[bluetablelover]

@nanabonniez Source?

[moronstudios]

Excellent message.

[guitaro5000]

What about condom use among married couples?

[luis1coelho]

Condoms or any type of contraceptions is allowed. There are absolutely no exceptions. Abstinence is the answer, for aids, and for a life in God or with God. Sex is not important, sex is from this world, sex is a brainwash given by all the media, ultimately, sex is a satan tool...

[777ChiRho]

@luis1coelho Sex is a gift from God. Male and female bodies compliment eachother for the sake of procreation. But contraception perverts sex because it makes it more likely that people will be used and you are not open to God's will, you are saying "NO" to God like a little child, when using BC. I once heard a wise saying that went: "Things are meant to be used and people are meant to be loved, but all too often things are loved and people are used". One reason for this is because of BC.

[DeatgMagnet]

@777ChiRho Sex is a gift from God ? I dont recall making such gifts...
