By asking the African Catholics not to use condoms he could undo all the progress made in the fight against AIDS.

What do you make of his comments?
 
He obviously doesn't actually care about them only the sperm which they see as potential life that will be "killed" if people have sex and use protection.

The Catholic church is too backwards! And it is well known that condoms reduce the risk of HIV not increase it.
 
i dont think it's as simple as they make out with that title.

the use of condoms promotes sex, which is against the religion outside of marriage. it also makes people want to have sex more, which spreads the disease more. when people come out of the cycle of having sex, they will crave it for a few weeks, but after that they dont feel the urge, so would probably lower the spread. also condoms arnt as safe as the ones that we get, they arnt put through the same tests and quality controls. since most people are so poor there anyway, i dont see how they would spare anything to buy them.
 
People long to break rules and they don't like to be told that this is the way to do things......Condom helps a lot to prevent AIDS.....But what he tells is people to do is what they believe not all people in the world think the same.......
 
he's old and out of touch. pope john paul set the bar pretty high as how a pope should be and ratzinger failed miserably. when you look at what he has done for the religion he has brought more problems than good. this is a time when people are more and more beginning to question their faith and he has failed to rise to the occasion and deliever hope and belief to the people of the world. i hope the next pope is more in touch with the times and the ever changing world we live in. ratzinger might have succeeded 50 years ago, not now
