Do NOT use Condoms, it can increase your chance of getting AIDS.
This is a public service announcement. I’m not writing any of my own opinions, since it is not really necessary.
Pope Benedict, Our holly father, Servant of the Servants of God, talking about AIDS in Africa last week announced,
So guys if you engage in some sort of sexual activity please do NOT use condoms by any means. It can worsen AIDS problem and it will not help protecting you from those sorts of diseases.
Pope Benedict, Our holly father, Servant of the Servants of God, talking about AIDS in Africa last week announced,
“You can't resolve it with the distribution of condoms, On the contrary, it increases the problem."
So guys if you engage in some sort of sexual activity please do NOT use condoms by any means. It can worsen AIDS problem and it will not help protecting you from those sorts of diseases.

rubbish...
This is really really over the top sarcasm... right?
Mee too wonder...
Is this sarcasm, or are you for real?
*think*...
Pope did not meant any sarcasm or taken it as a laughing matter. He also said “don't use condoms - even to prevent the spread of Aids”. Therefore you can see he did not meant it be a sarcastic joke. I’m waiting, just like how our government adopts Our Father’s policy against homosexuals, we would also take similar stand against condoms too.
Thanks for providing me a laugh today.
This doesn't even warrant an argument. This public service announcement would have worked 2000 years ago, not now, sorry. Thanks for the 'heads up' though.
You are all being fools.
His statement is controversial, yes. However, the scientific method is not incorrect.
I am not going to explicate my thoughts because if you think beyond "oh the Catholics, they think condoms are bad" and actually try to understand the rationality of the argument, you would find that many sociologists and economists concur with the pope's comment. I've lived in Africa and, I am both an empiricist and theorist. Before jumping on the bandwagon of popularist ideas we need to have a deeper understanding of the problem.
I agree that the pope doesn't always need to make politico statements and should embrace spirituality more a la manner of John Paul. However, he's deeply intellectual. It's sad when words are taken completely out of context.
The problem of blogs these days! We are far too quick to express our opinions and search for vailidity in anything and everything. Jack of all trades master of none!
The Vatican's stance is that condoms encourage promiscuity, thus encourage STD's, and this was the message the Pope was trying to convey. As a preacher, he should have worded it a lot more correctly, his message was tits up from the start. Its the nutters who believe what he says, word to word, that fan the flames.
As, just because the Pope's views connect to some kind of remote rationalism doesn't mean that everything's fine and dandy. His stance on science, church and the state, sexual orientation etc to name a few, don't place him as an intellectual, in, believe it or not, many people's minds.
Plates cause obesity.
give me my hat.
well I think we need to see the entire speech as one line alone would be quoting out of context.
However I fail to see how using condoms can increase promiscuous behavior? I mean if people want to do it (which they will - it being human nature -as the Pope will agree that God made us so) they would anyway. And if all ppl are afraid of are unwanted pregnancies they'll just take the pill???
Following are some instances in which the papacy admitted errors or apologized for actions of the Roman Catholic Church.
# 1992: After 13 years of study by the Vatican, Pope John Paul II declared that the church was wrong to condemn astronomer Galileo for maintaining that the earth was not the centre of the universe. The scientist was formally rehabilitated and the pope said Galileo's condemnation had resulted from "tragic mutual incomprehension".
# 1992: Visiting a former centre of the slave trade in Senegal, John Paul begged for forgiveness for the Christians involved in the slave trade. "From this African sanctuary of black pain, we begged the pardon from above," the pope said.
# 1995: John Paul issued a document saying that the Church was "truly sorry" for any discrimination or mistreatment of women.
# 1995: During a visit to the Czech Republic, John Paul asked forgiveness for violence by Catholics against Protestants during the 16th century Counterreformation. "Today I, the pope of the Church of Rome, in the name of all Catholics, ask forgiveness for the wrongs inflicted on non-Catholics during the turbulent history of these peoples."
# 1998: In a document on the Holocaust, John Paul expressed remorse for the cowardice of some Christians during the Nazi persecution of Jews, regretting the silence of those who "were not strong enough to raise their voices in protest".
# 1999: John Paul denounced the persecution of Jan Hus, a 15th-century religious reformer and precursor of Protestantism who was burned at the stake.
# 2000: On a solemn Day of Pardon during the Holy Year, John Paul asked forgiveness for the sins of Catholics through the ages, including wrongs inflicted on Jews, women and minorities. During the ceremony it was the future Benedict XVI, then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who spoke of the Inquisition, confessing "sins committed in the service of the truth".
# 2000: In a visit to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem, John Paul said the Catholic Church is "deeply saddened by the hatred, acts of persecution and displays of anti-Semitism directed against the Jews by Christians at any time and in any place".
# 2001: On a visit to Athens, John Paul issued a sweeping apology for wrongs committed by Roman Catholics against Orthodox Christians.
# 2001: Sending his official word over the internet for the first time, John Paul apologised for missionary abuses against indigenous peoples of the South Pacific.
# 2006: Pope Benedict XVI said on Sunday he was "deeply sorry" that Muslims worldwide took offence over a speech he gave in Germany on September 12 about Islam and holy war.
The deferent is, John Paul II was apologizing for the crimes his predecessors committed.
And Benedict XVI already starts apologizing for his own mistakes and went on doing a load of them very aggressively. I’m waiting for an apology for the child abuse case he covered up as a Cardinal.
May be we can hear than in 100 years hopefully?
veryy interesting :)
what sort of method pop using, to avoid AIDS, may be only the oral sex, anal, or may homosexual.
