Another day and unfortunately another reason to question the sanity of the Pope and the message that the Catholic church delivers to its followers. For those who haven't heard the pope re-affirmed the churches stance that condoms do not help prevent aids. I fully understand that the church wants to preach fidelity or abstinence but not the need to lie (and let's face it, it is a lie) about the effectiveness of condoms when it comes to tackling the problem of HIV/AIDS. One, at best, misinformed and, at worst, downright idiotic statement like this undoes so much of the hard work done by different organisations working with this problem all over the world... thats what makes me annoyed.
I'm going to try to leave Catholicism alone for a bit as I feel it's been mentioned far too much in the formative days of my blog.
