How can the church be blamed for spreading a disease that wouldn't spread if behavior were modified?

Hey Elton .. the church suggests not to have gay sex

How about you take personal responsibility for your own actions

Oh, Elton... I doubt that any of your friends were anymore influenced by the church's position on condoms any more than they were influenced by the church's position on sodomy...

It's everybody's fault but the Sodomite's. It's a third grade mentality that doesn't take responsibility for its actions.

Again, this argument presumes that there are individuals who are such devout Catholics that they obey the Church's teaching on contraception to the exact letter, but who simultaneously completely ignore the Church's teaching on disordered intercourse.

A convenient but irrational fiction.

You have got to be kidding me? Has Elton ever heard the phrase 'personal responsibilty'? How is it a Gay, or anyone for that matter, makes the choice to screw around yet opts for a religious no-no in the condom department?

That is just so much Bull Hockey...it makes you laugh. WHINE, Elton, Whine.

The men who refused to control their lust even in the face of the risk (known for decades now) of contracting a deadly disease are NOT at fault here. The people who warn them that their practice of sodomy could well kill them are at fault.

Makes perfect sense.

He's wallowing in the failure of his latest Broadway show. Pretty soon he'll blame the church for that too, and for creating a culture of vampire intolerance.

"For this cause God gave them up into vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet" (Romans 1:26, 27)

....so Bruce goes to see the doc who does a thorough examination and finally turns to Bruce and says through clenched lips," I'm not going to lie to you!! I'm gonna give it to you straight. You've got AIDS!!"

"Oh no!" says Bruce, "is there anything that can be done?"

"Listen carefully", says the doc. "I want you to go home and eat.......2lbs of hot sausage meat.....3 cans of baked beans....half a head of cabbage......3 carrots.....10 hot Jalapeno peppers.........half a box of Grape Nuts and I want you to wash the whole thing down with half a gallon of prune juice!!"

"Gee doc, will that cure me?" says Bruce.

"No......",says the doc "but it will teach you what your ass is for!!"

The Catholic Church opposes condom use in relation to its views on birth control. Elton John making the leap from that to gay sex is pretty funny.

Obviously, The Church would have nothing to say about the use of condoms and gays. Why would it? Birth control is not an issue,

Wow! Sounds like Elton John is serious about preventing the transmittal of this deadly disease.

I wonder if he supports mandatory testing, a registry of those positive, and criminal charges brought against those positives who engage in sexual activity with other human beings?

I'm guessing that program would be more effective than condoms.

"the one in ten failure rate of condoms protection from AIDS is not good enough for a fatal disease."

Don't most condoms have 'Not for the prevention of disease' clearly printed on the package? I guess the 60 or so friends of Elton that died of Aids were also illiterate along with being degenerate sodomites.

I wonder if Elton would have sex with a guy that has AIDS if the guy wore a condom. I somehow doubt that he would.

"We don't have a medical vaccine but we have a social vaccine and it's called education."

Yes. And the lesson is - “Don’t stick you #*&# up some other guy’s #*#.

The only way elton's comment could be true is if his 60 "friends" were molested as children by infected gay priests. Apparently elton agrees that the gay priest scandal has brought much of the problems the church suffers today.

Doesn't the gay community also blame Reagan for aids? After all, he didn't pour billions of dollars of taxpayer money into aids research, therefore he is responsible!!

I suspect the 60 friends of Eltons who died of aids:1)did not use condoms,and 2)had unprotected sex with numerous partners.You play,you pay:(

Why are so many celebrities so utterly lacking in basic logic and reasoning skills?

If you don't want to get a disease that is primarily spread through homosexual sex and drug use, then DON'T HAVE HOMOSEXUAL SEX OR USE DRUGS!

The Bible has been very clear on this for a long time, and so has the Catholic Church.
