Condoms give you AIDS now?

The Catholic Church’s consistent anti-contraception stance is one of the best examples of blind adherence to outmoded religious thought doing actual, measurable harm in the world today. Not only does it excaserbate population pressure, increase poverty, and lead to unwanted (and therefore unloved) children, it is also a major contributor to the continued spread of sexually transmitted diseases world-wide.

When you add this sort of utterly insane crackpottery into the mix, you end up with a conspiracy theory that would be funny if it wasn’t tragic.

People are going to listen to this moron. They’re going to believe him because he’s a “holy-man,” they’re going to stay away from condoms, they’re going to catch AIDS and they’re going to die painfully because one man is too blinkered by religious dogma, and his own insane justifications for it, to see just how important and effective proper healthcare is.
