Honey lamb, being a Whore is not a teaching of the Catholic Church! I am surprised no one mentioned this to you before. Gee I really wonder if the condom issue is a desire of Catholics in Africa or liberal pseudo-Catholics in NYC and San Fran?

My question would be what are her options, or more to the point, why does she believe her options are so limited. She would not chose this life willingly, so I wonder if, as an orphan and a women, she had no way of supporting herself.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think I read that Africa has vast undeveloped resources. Why aren't the African nations developing their resources? They should be the richest continent on the earth. What seems to be the problem?

It's just another stick with which to beat the Church.
