AIDS “is a tragedy that cannot be overcome by money alone, that cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which even aggravates the problems. The solution lies in a “spiritual and human awakening” and “friendship for those who suffer.”
That’s what the Pope said about a recent trip to Africa. Yup, that’s right, The Pope would rather see billions more dies of AIDS than say, “what the heck, protect yourselves. Wear a condom.” I’m sorry- this may be considered very rude or in very poor taste, but that sentiment makes me want to wrap my warm little hands around his wrinkled old neck and squeeze. Hard.
It’s ok if this entire continent is being crushed under the weight of this disease, it’s ok if the death toll from AIDS in Africa is larger than most countries, and it’s also ok if a large percent of an entire generation will be orphaned after their parents die of AIDS.
It’s all ok, as long as you don’t use a condom.
