"who told another poster he would prefer to a woman die from AIDS than "

He never said this. You are putting words in his mouth and twisting what he said.

Wrong. I posted his exact words. I didn't add or take anything away from his post. Anybody can go back and read it.

I prefer a woman never use a condom to prevent AIDS because it would be sinful. That DOES NOT mean I prefer her to die from AIDS. It simply means I prefer her to abstain. Stop putting words in others' mouths, son.

Huh? Now you are responding to what johnb2004 posted with "I said" responses?

Are you johnb2004?
You posts are getting stranger by the minute.

BS. You ADDED to his exact words that "he'd rather a woman die from AIDS."

Anybody can go back and read it.

You are correct. And everyone who does knows that John never said "he'd rather a woman die from AIDS." You ADDED that to his words.

"I posted his exact words"


Yes, you did. But he never used the word "prefer".
He only said that it would be wrong to commit an intrinsically evil act, even if some limited good resulted.

The Catholic position has always been that sin is the only real evil. Sickness or death is not an evil in the strict sense of the word. There is only MORAL evil. Sickness and death are inevitable outcomes of the fallen state of mankind. An individual is not culpable for the fact that he gets sick and dies. It remains true that one can NEVER commit a sin in order to avoid physical suffering or death. It's a hard doctrine, but so is the Cross.
