The problem with condoms is that they provide a false sense of security. "Hey, I'm wearing a condom, I can't get AIDS." It's BS. It's a lie.

The fact is, that condoms do little to stop the spread of AIDS. If a condom is used EXACTLY right, it has a less than 90% success rate. So if you have sex ten times using a condom, one time you could get pregnant. Or get AIDS.

Handing out condoms and encouraging people to have sex using them will do little to stop AIDS in Africa. Particularly considering that it's the cheapest condoms that are being distributed there. And we're expecting illiterate people to learn how to use them 100% accurately.

Our time--and our money--would be better used teaching these people how to be farmers, how to stop bloody wars, how to create a workable society so that prosperity can come to them. They would be better served if we educate them, rather than treating them like animals who can't control their sex drives.

May God bless the Catholic Church and its stand for the Truth.

But even if it doesn't fully stop the spread of AIDS and is only 90% effective, then that STILL means less babies actually born with AIDS.
