Further proving that he cares nothing about how many thousands - or should we make that hundreds of thousands - may die if his shortsighted and ignorant statements are followed, God's Rottweiler, the Nazi Pope Benedict XVI, is ranting that condoms should not be used in Africa to stem or at least endeavor to slow the spread of HIV/AIDS - which is a HETEROSEXUAL plague sweeping the continent. Better that countless men, women and children be infected and die rather than face the reality that humans are sexual creatures and WILL go on having sex no matter what the bitter old queens at the Vatican have to say on the matter.

At times I cannot fathom whether the Vatican's obsession with halting contraception stems from (i) the perceived need to have as many new third world cradle Catholics born as possible to replace the growing stream of Catholics exiting the Church in the developed world or (ii) a simple hatred/jealousy toward those who have normal sex lives, something which is denied the celibate nasty old queens like Benedict XVI. Whatever the cause, in the Vatican's efforts to block measures to stop unsafe sex and prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS is nothing less than criminal in my view. Here are some highlights from the London Times on the Nazi Pope's latest misdeeds:
*
The Pope courted further controversy on his first trip to Africa today by declaring that condoms were not a solution to the Aids epidemic – but were instead part of the problem. . . . He said the "traditional teaching of the Church" on chastity outside marriage and fidelity within it had proved to be "the only sure way of preventing the spread of HIV and Aids".

The Pope, who will also visit Angola, is making his first trip as pontiff to Africa, the continent where the Roman Catholic Church is growing fastest.

Two years ago there was speculation that the Vatican might amend its ban on condoms after Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, the former Archbishop of Milan, said that in couples where one partner had HIV/Aids, the use of condoms was "a lesser evil".

"These incorrect statements about condoms and HIV are dangerous when we are facing a global pandemic which has already killed more than 20 million people, and currently affects at least 42 million." The WHO said that "consistent and correct" condom use reduces the risk of HIV infection by 90 per cent.

As I have speculated many times, why do people even listen to Benedict XVI and the Vatican when they obviously care nothing for human lives and human suffering?
