(45,319 posts)So Frankie Silks has to get the heat. Plus, Sid may be many things as are we all but he is not a homophobe so he's not really qualified to do the Pope's gig. Sid is a man of science who would never tell people in Africa to abstain from using condoms while hundreds of thousands die of AIDS. Francis does that. Sid would not.
Sid wins.
It is my opinion that those who are supportive of Francis should be sending large amounts of cash to secular groups engaged in sexual education and particularly AIDS awareness in Africa and still more cash to groups that provide medicine to those who are sick and yet another stack of cash to the organizations that try to help the millions of orphans created by this virus which can be avoided greatly, save for superstitions and ignorance.
I say send money to clean up the mess that dogma makes. I'm tired of reading 'Oh, US Catholics pay not attention, we all use any birth control we want!' as if that excuses the dogma and the outcome from following that dogma. Over 100,000 dead each month in Africa. Each month. Condoms. Education. Medicine. Orphanages. Send them money.
Sell all you have and give it to the poor if you want to follow. Or keep it all and tell the poor to take great risks with their lives. Jesus suggested one of these two things.
