Quote:The Catholic Church is telling people in countries stricken by Aids not to use condoms because they have tiny holes in them through which HIV can pass - potentially exposing thousands of people to risk.http://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/oct/09/aids
The church is making the claims across four continents despite a widespread scientific consensus that condoms are impermeable to HIV.
The WHO has condemned the Vatican's views, saying: "These incorrect statements about condoms and HIV are dangerous when we are facing a global pandemic which has already killed more than 20 million people, and currently affects at least 42 million."
Knowingly.
Ah I see. If this article is accurate and these people really were knowingly and consciously spreading lies about condoms, then I agree they acted very very wrongly. The issue should be addressed if it hasn't been done so already, and the people responsible should be reprimanded.
Nonetheless, to say "Catholics are not pro life" is a rash generalization on an entire group of people based on the actions of a minority.
"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."
