What the fuck?  As a non-believer that normally doesn’t talk bad about the Pope (just in case), this is some pretty crazy church shit right here.  I mean come on.  Tell people in one of the most AIDS ravaged countries to NOT use condoms to protect themselves is kind of insane.  Honestly those that follow his ‘leadership’ and then get HIV/AIDS should be able to sue the Vatican since they were just doing what the Pope told them to do, right?

I mean come on this makes no sense to me.  This is a guy that looks a little like what I imagine the Devil should look like mixed with a little Hitler and he is telling the Catholic community in sub-Saharan Africa and world wide that using condoms is not the way to save themselves.  His beliefs mean that even if your wife/husband has AIDS or HIV you are not to use condoms.

I’m all for finding the ONE and being faithful (I talk the talk I have a hard time walking the walk), but come on.  Religious zealots like this (yes I just called the Pope a religious zealot) are what is wrong with the world.  Don’t even get me started on Pat Robertson.  Instead of using their ‘power’ for good they use it for EVIL.

The ‘church’ has its place in peoples lives, its helps them ‘believe’ they are loved and are better people for that.  And honestly its a great place to network.  But telling people in a country where over 20+ million people have HIV or AIDS that they cant use condoms is just stupid.
