I am trying to finf Michael Fumento's excellent editorial from yesterday's NY Post, which makes the points that heterosexual transmission of AIDS is virtually impossible, but have thus far been unsuccessful.

I have a better way than condoms to stop the transmission of AIDS, problem is, men have got to stop porking each other in the ass.

Well besides the theological issues of placing a barrier between the partners in the conjugal act, condoms provide a false sense of security since many of the cheaper ones have air holes much larger than the HIV virus. They are impermable to sperm but the virus goes right thru it.
Abstinence and monogamy - work every time they are tried.

Re: ""I'd like to follow the Church's teachings, but with condoms you can stay safe," she said. "Maybe I'm already sick, but I don't think so. You have to survive and look for money.""
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?
To: John Jorsett
Please post this as an excertpted thread. It is an excellent article, and it appeared in yesterday's NY Post.

Rose was raised as a good Catholic schoolgirl by her grandparents, but now the 18-year-old orphan survives by selling sex in a Ugandan slum with scant regard for the teachings of the church.

But, out of everything, The Church's teachings on condom use, are still a high priority for her. LOL

It is absurd for these "activists" to suggest that on the one hand, people are unwilling to go against the Church's teaching on contraception, while being perfectly willing to engage in extramarital, promiscuous sex.
There is another agenda at work here, folks. This isn't about Africa, either.

In Africa, there is lots of hetero transmission of AIDS because they are not clean people and often have open sores on their bodies.

Back Jesus not condoms. The message is simple. The meaning is clear.

"I have a better way than condoms to stop the transmission of AIDS, problem is, men have got to stop porking each other in the ass."If someone wants to open an African drug store or a pharmacy, then they can go in and pay $9.99 for a box of 12 like everyone else has to do. I'm sick of libs acting like condoms are a right that anyone is entitled to at taxpayer expense.

Are you kidding me?
Who ever whined about my comment needs to grow up. OK, I'll repeat it without the implied expletive, since someone is acting sentitive today--
CHARITY SHOULD BE SPENT ON FOOD - NOT ON SEXUAL ACTIVITY.
Am I allowed to say that?
To: presidio9
If they don't listen to Catholic teaching about sex outside of marriage, why do they care about what Catholics teach about condoms????
To: presidio9
While abstinence may sound fine in theory, activists say poverty forces many young people in ( Africa | S.America | America's inner cities )
into selling ( sex | drugs | contraband )
just to survive, making it impossible for them to avoid ( intercourse | addiction | a life of crime ).
It seems that during earlier depression times when poverty was much more stark, you didn't hear about morals going out the window on a widespread basis just to "survive"...
