Title: Who needs science when you have the pope?
Post by: videoholic on October 09, 2003, 08:16:56 AM

Um, the Vatican is now saying that condoms don\'t stop aids and that, "countries stricken by Aids not to use condoms because they have tiny holes in them through which the HIV virus can pass - potentially exposing thousands of people to risk."

Alrighty then.  

Here are some great quotes:

Scientific research by a group including the US National Institutes of Health and the WHO found "intact condoms... are essentially impermeable to particles the size of STD pathogens including the smallest sexually transmitted virus... condoms provide a highly effective barrier to transmission of particles of similar size to those of the smallest STD viruses".

The Vatican\'s Cardinal Trujillo said: "They are wrong about that... this is an easily recognisable fact."



The Vatican\'s response to all other scientific evidence as to condom use was with the ever popular, "Not ah!"

This is my favorite quote

"The archbishop of Nairobi, Raphael Nding Nzeki, said: "Aids... has grown so fast because of the availability of condoms." "

I don\'t agree with what the Vatican said at all.

But....there is some truth about condoms not being able to protect you from AIDS 100%. The packages on the condoms will state this. Then again, I wouldn\'t be screwing with an AIDS infected woman with 4 condoms. ANd yes, condoms break.

Sometimes I wonder if the Vatican should hire a Public Relations person just so they can stay in touch with today\'s reality. And I\'m Catholic.
