Because that's something the average African pauper can either access readily or afford.
Quote:The problem wouldn't exist if people followed catholic doctrine.
If you assume that all cases of AIDS are transmitted via consensual sex or drug use, yes. That is, of course, entirely untrue. What does Catholic doctrine suggest we do with the two and a half million babies born with AIDS? 21st century leper colonies? What about the extraordinary prevalence of rape in sub-Saharan Africa, and the tens of thousands of young people and children infected in this manner? How does Catholic doctrine protect them?
I mean, it isn't as if the Catholic church possesses the moral authority to preach that child rape is wrong, do they?
Quote:So, no, they haven't blocked the sale of condoms.
What saints they are for not making the problem even worse than they have already made it.
Quote:And we're back to the beginning. Catholic doctrine isn't scary enough to stop people from extramarital sex, but it is strong enough to stop condom use? Completely idiotic position.
Resisting the human sex drive is as easy as resisting the use of condoms? And my position is idiotic?
Quote:Thousands and thousands die because they can't keep their pants on. If the church drops the ban tomorrow, thousands and thousands will still die, because they still won't keep their pants on.
Thousands and thousands fewer will die if the Church fucks off, stops preaching improbable solutions and stops fighting effective ones.
