What Human Rights?

[Longhorn]

This doesn't make much sense, Vic. You're saying they all got AIDS because they're following Church teaching.

Please stop putting words in my mouth.

I'm saying the disease could spread more easily because of the rumor the catholics made up and spread around that condoms were lethal.

But Church teaching is that you shouldn't have sex at all except in a monogamous relationship with a life partner... it isn't that you should have sex with multiple people and just not wear a condom when you do it lol. 

Saving sex for monogamous life long relationships would, in fact, help bring down AIDS if it was actually followed. So it's not that AIDS spread because they were following Church teaching, it spread because they weren't.

Teaching abstinence does not work. Demonstrably.

The truth is that the church spread lies to keep people from using condoms, leading to the death of millions, never really apologized and never changed their policy, despite the apparent destructive results of their actions.

The point being, while defending the sanctity of life, they caused millions to die and barely expressed regrets. But condoms? God forbid. Despite them being demonstrably significantly more effective than any abstinence only program.

But the church would rather keep Africa poor and diseased by forcing their agenda into the charity work and causing significant damage than keep it in their pants and actually help without shoving ineffective dogma down the people's throats, all the while claiming to defend the sanctity of life while bodies keep piling up. Frankly, I'm disgusted.

That's all I have to say.
