LONDON, May 24, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - British pop music star Elton John has attacked the Catholic Church and its position on condom use as a reason for the demise of 60 of his friends to the sexually-transmitted disease, AIDS.

Speaking at a business awards ceremony, he said, "We don't have a medical vaccine but we have a social vaccine and it's called education." He failed to include in his so-called education platform that condoms may be a leading reason for the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Even leading health experts at the United Nations have acknowledged that condoms have an estimated 10% failure rate.

Edward C. Green, a senior research scientist at the Harvard School of Public Health explained in 2003 that the one in ten failure rate of condoms protection from AIDS is "not good enough for a fatal disease." He added, "The way condoms are marketed in Africa and other developing parts of the world is as if they were 100 percent safe."

"British pop music star Elton John has attacked the Catholic Church and its position on condom use as a reason for the demise of 60 of his friends to the sexually-transmitted disease, AIDS."

They were listening so intently to the church regarding homosexuality and sex outside marriage somehow they miraculously acquired aides.

[Beckwith]

Elton John's thinking is flawed. After all, he's homosexual.

[Catholic Canadian]

I dunno man, those are just baffling comments. No logic whatsoever to them.

[doorgunner69]

This is such a hoot: the rulings of the Vatican regarding heterosexual birth control are to blame for homos catching AIDS. Maybe some of the queers thought they might get pregnant?

What was that old joke about how lawyers are created?

[dcnd9]

Paleeeeeeeezzzz............C.I.N.O.[s] needs to grow up!

[DungeonMaster]

I doubt he ever had 60 REAL friends.

Some of them have 60 "friends" every 2 or 3 months.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

It's a secret 2000 year-old conspiracy of the Church that Jesus was really a virologist and he engineered the HIV virus to eliminate homosexuals. It's taken all this time for modern technology to finally identify HIV.

The inability to produce a vaccine is the result of the Priory of Sion blocking research into critical areas by labeling it inaccurate, and not according to Church teachings.

[Tanniker Smith]

Any how many of those 60 were G-d-fearing Christians who did everything the Church told them to do, and showed up at Church every Sunday?

How many of them were, oh, I don't know, having sex outside of Matrimony, the holy sacrament that joins one man and one woman that no one may put asunder?

Just wondering?

Eltons comments ?
Thats what you speak of I presume !!!!
The ramblings of a disfunctional man.

[GSWarrior]

I'm not Catholic but this make no sense whatsover. Is EJ suggesting that his 60 deceased friends were not willing to break the Catholic teaching to not use condoms but were okay with breaking the teaching about having gay sex?

This begs for a song but it would probably get pulled.

Here's your first stanza:

(to the tune of "Candle in the Wind")
Goodbye raging queen
Though I never
Screwed you at all
You made the choice not to wrap that thing
And watched those around you fall

[Ignatz]

"We don't have a medical vaccine..."

Sure we do: Trinoacitol

[Brit1]

I expect its 'Gods'revenge for all that dreadfull wailing at Diana's funeral.

[IrishMike]

...Trinoacitol....


Forgive my slowness, But is that...

Oh, c'mon Doug...exhibit some risky behavior!

[MadIvan]

It's very strange that the Catholic Church is being blamed for this, when in actuality, they had the most effective anti-AIDS strategy of all, and it's lack of adherence to it that actually caused the disease to spread.

Regards, Ivan

[Catholic Canadian]

Absolutely he is dysfunctional. He seems to be jumping on the anti-Catholic bandwagon that is so popular these days.

[MEGoody]

Elton, case you didn't notice, the Catholic church is also against people doing what your 'friends' were doing when they got AIDS.

But hey, don't blame the person who chose to perform the action. Gotta blame someone else.

[doug from upland]

That's exactly what I mean. It would get pulled.

A typical nonsensical argument from the left. Why would those who flagrantly ignore both the prohibition on unmarried sex and the prohibition on homosexual sex somehow choose to observe a prohibition on condom use????

Even leading health experts at the United Nations have acknowledged that condoms have an estimated 10% failure rate.

Safe Sex equates to Safe Russian Roulette -DUH...
