[afro-nets] Catholic Church fails to recognize the importance of condom use in the prevention of HIV and AIDS (2)

["Emeje Martins" <martinsemeje@yahoo.com>]

I am surprised at the manner Bradford McIntyre took a swipe on the Catholic Church instead of addressing the issue of HIV/AIDS pandemic in the world scientifically. Even if you share condoms to everybody, those who want to have sex without it will. We must also realise that the church does not follow people to where they have sexual intercourse. Scientific reports indicate that there are more cases of HIV/AIDS in underdeveloped/developing nations than there are in developed countries. Does that mean that the Catholic Church in developed countries is less effective than those in developing countries? Can't Bradford see the role of poverty in HIV/AIDS pandemic? What are the rich nations doing about it? How many people in Africa can afford good, balanced 3-square meals? Does Bradford think that everybody lives in Canada? My advice for discussants on this respected site is that issues discussed here should be scientific as much as possible. Please let us avoid religious and political issues. Let us also suppress our emotions and sentiments as much as possible when we discuss public issues. Every religion/sect has believe/does one thing or the other that some one some where does not like, and all of these have one type of effect or the other on lives. SIN IS SIN NO MATTER HOW MODERN Bradford claims he is.
