Catholic Church Responsible for Genocide in Africa
(The Guardian, October 11, 2003)
It is chilling news that the Catholic church continues to tell people in continents stricken by HIV/Aids that condoms are unreliable (Vatican: condoms don't stop Aids, October 9). For years, physicians and theologians have been trying to persuade it to halt such gross misinformation. . . . The WHO is right in condemning the Vatican's dangerous claims. Although condoms are only one aspect of preventing this appalling pandemic, spreading falsehood condemns many young people to dreadful suffering and death. . . . The Vatican's assertion is tantamount to manslaughter. Thousands, perhaps even millions, will prefer to believe their religious leaders over faceless scientists.The Vatican's assertion is tantamount to manslaughter.
