But that's exactly what the Vatican is doing. The current pope, on a recent visit to Africa, basically said that condoms aren't the answer and could even make the AIDS pandemic worse.
Here is a direct quote:
"You can't resolve it with the distribution of condoms. On the contrary, it increases the problem."How, you may ask. Well, apparently, there are tiny holes in condoms that allow the permeation of the virus. Can you believe that? And where exactly does the solution lie according to him?
Abstinence what else. Because that worked so well in America in preventing teen pregnancies. And monogamy too.
Methinks it's time for the Vatican to stop being so goddamn irresponsible and butt out of people's lives.
This world is way overdue for an Atheist/Secular/Humanist organization with billions of dollars at their disposal to combat the Catholic Church's irresponsible influence around the world.

Like I needed one more reason to be ever so pissed about the Catholic Church. OK, this stance isn't a new one, but for the pope to hold steadfast on his stance against condoms and birth control in this day and age makes the problem so much worse. Condoms are evil? Is the prevention worse than the disease?
Clearly, the Church isn't worried about the population problem, either.
