They simply believe the true solution to solving the aids epidemic once and for all is to save sex for life long monogamous relationships, and that is why they think it would be ineffective in the grand scheme of things to pass around condoms.
Their beliefs have no effect on reality. Parents who believe in faith healing deeply believe prayer is the most effective solution for their child's illness. Doesn't change the fact that it isn't, or that the kid dies an easily preventable death and the parents should be charged with negligent murder.
I understand that. I don't object with people's objections to how the Church chose to do things when they were helping out in Africa. My objection was simply to how it was laid out and how the Church was portrayed in those first articles you guys posted from The Guardian..
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
