Nonononono. He said that condoms would make things worse. Which is just incorrect.
They also said that condoms were ineffective. Not 'not 100% effective', but ineffective. Which is a lie.

Which is all still ignoring the fact that the church insists on enforcing demonstrably ineffective tactics which also demonstrably make things worse.

Quote:Church officials argue that reliance on condoms to prevent transmission of AIDS can result in a false sense of security because of the problem of "leakage and breakage". In 2003, contrary to some manufacturers' empirical evidence, the president of the Vatican's Pontifical Council for the Family - "senior spokesman" Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo - claimed that condoms are permeable to the aids virus. He explained to BBC interviewers that "The Aids virus is roughly 450 times smaller than the spermatozoon and can easily pass through the 'net' that is formed by the condom." These assertions (HIV 120 nm, Spermatozoon 55µm, latex pore size 5µm [20]) were echoed by an archbishop of Nairobi, as well as by Catholics as far as Asia and Latin America.
