You old dog. You're the most Catholic person I know on here Rebs. If you changed your username to Benedict and your location to the Holy See I wouldn't blink an eye
Calm down Married men having sex with other people means they are not acting as a married man has agreed to act, and if they are paying more not to use condoms that is hardly the popes fault Being promiscuous does not guarantee AIDS, I have already said this. It is risky though Abstinence is not risky Cheating on your wife is not abstinence
Close. HIV/Aids was, he argued, "a tragedy that cannot be overcome by money alone, that cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which can even increase the problem". http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7947460.stm
Medro won't move on because it is in his society's handbook to oppose everything the pope stands for I suppose he can be excused
But if a condom works properly, you won't get AIDS. How is that any different to saying 'if marriage works properly, you won't get AIDS'? You avoided the Pope bit yet again, keep it up The 'Cheating on your wife' bit at the end doesn't make any sense, I thought the abstinence bit was before marriage?
You're arguing that abstinence is a more practical solution to tackling the AIDS epidemic than condoms (even though you don't adhere by it yourself) and you're saying that I can't move on.
He say this in English? What does he mean by it? Did anyone ask him? Or did they just revel in a quote from a language that he hardly uses? Any ideas what he means by this? Or do you not care you're just glad he said it?
They have the little chimney thingy don't they? Depending on the colour of the smoke or some bullshit. God works in mysterious ways
Call me old fashioned, but I think a voting system (however archaic and corrupt) is better than choosing a head by birthright because their predecessors falsified family trees to make it look like they were descended from Jesus
He said it in Italian and the Vatican confirmed his comment, while attempting to make subtle changes to it. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article5934912.ece
ARGGHGHGGHGH STOP THINKING EVERYONE IN AFRICA LIVES IN A MUD HUT. I can't believe you ****s are arguing on the side of something so ****ed up, I give up
Please tell me you're not trying to say he was misquoted? http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/mar/17/pope-africa-condoms-aids Shortly after becoming pontiff in 2005, he told senior Catholic clergy from Africa that, while the disease was a "cruel epidemic", it could not be cured through using condoms. He also warned them that African life was under threat from a number of factors, including condoms. "It is of great concern that the fabric of African life, its very source of hope and stability, is threatened by divorce, abortion, prostitution, human trafficking and a contraception mentality," he added. You any links to his famous 'Wear a hood if you want' statement that only you seem to have heard?
