This is disgusting. This is evil: "The Catholic Church is telling people in countries stricken by Aids not to use condoms because they have tiny holes in them through which the HIV virus can pass - potentially exposing thousands of people to risk. The church is making the claims across four continents despite a widespread scientific consensus that condoms are impermeable to the HIV virus. A senior Vatican spokesman backs the claims about permeable condoms, despite assurances by the World Health Organisation that they are untrue."

I don't have it in me even to ask how officials of the church can imagine they serve a moral purpose. Catholicism has become a parody of itself. It has become murderous kitsch. I wish death upon this man. I wish death upon the pope.
