In reply to the discussion: Pope Francis To Allow Priests To Forgive Women Who Had Abortions [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)I have been involved in fighting AIDS in Africa since before the US government was involved there. Decades during which the RCC has told Africans not to use condoms. Why do you not take issue with that? 100,000 dead each and every month, for decades. That number, high as it is, is a great improvement as secular education makes inroads against the lies taught by the churches and the RCC in particular.
91% of the world's HIV infected children live in Sub Saharan Africa. 71% of all global deaths from HIV/AIDS are the deaths of African people.
You know who has leverage in Africa, hunter? Pope Francis and his Bishops. But they use it for ill result. In the past I had a small amount of influence in some places in Africa, yes I did, and I used it to the greatest extent possible. But I'm not a person of standing like Francis is. He could save massive amounts of human life with a few words. If I could do that, I would have done so many years and millions of deaths ago. He can, so he should without delay.
