thistlechaserScientists, "Consistent and correct condom use reduces the risk of HIV infection by 90%." (Quote, WHO.)
Catholic Church, "Hey, people of Kenya! Africa! The world! Condoms do nothing, do not use them! In fact, they can give you Aids!"
Quote:
Catholic nun advising her HIV-infected choirmaster against using condoms with his wife because "the virus can pass through".
Quote:
In Lwak, near Lake Victoria, the director of an Aids testing centre says he cannot distribute condoms because of church opposition. Gordon Wambi told the programme: "Some priests have even been saying that condoms are laced with HIV/Aids."

I just don't understand it. How can people reconcile themselves with this? How? Why? How can people believe and follow people who are claiming this?
I'm literally sick to my stomach over this. How many deaths is this causing? How many new HIV cases? Nice work there, folks. I hope there is some sort of afterlife and you all get what you deserve for crap like this.
