Pope: Condoms Not The Answer In AIDS Fight (Cross posted from R&T)
<snip>

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE - Pope Benedict XVI said on his way to Africa Tuesday that condoms were not the answer in the continent's fight against HIV, his first explicit statement on an issue that has divided even clergy working with AIDS patients.

4. If you look up "anachronism" in the dictionary you'll find a picture of Pope Benedict XVI.
The distribution of condoms increases "the problem" of HIV? :wtf:

This is not a holy man. There, I said it. :grr:

12. The pope is an idiot and liar
For someone with so much blood on his hands he has a lot of nerve calling himself "pro-life".
