Pope to Africa: “Don’t Use Condoms!”

The Pope has told Africans not to bother with condoms, as they can’t help against Aids or HIV, and just make things worse. Instead he recommends abstinence and “spiritual awakening.”
He claimed in a recently commenced visit to Africa that distributing condoms can’t help control the spread of Aids, and even goes so far as to claim that “they can even increase the problem”.
Instead of worldly latex, the Pope advocates “spiritual and human awakening” to combat the spread of the disease. He did not cite any clinical trials to support this method. The elderly German also urges sexual abstinence.
Tens of millions of Africans are already infected with HIV, so it is fortunate his flock have his wise words to guide them.
This visit comes in the context of increasing numbers of Papists on the continent, having in thirty years apparently increased 5%, to 17% of the African population.
Assuming his followers breed faster than they die from the disease, and that Muslims do not multiply even faster, his advice will doubtless ensure Catholicism’s market share increases in the coming years.
He will also be haranguing regional leaders over their corrupt and ineffective governance, and urging the continent to unite (under Christ, presumably), though he saw fit to start his visit with the weighty matter of condom usage.

You may also recall the Church was recently involved in the excommunication of a number of particularly sinful doctors…

lol religion
Man, I'm so glad I'm not Catholic...
Draconian and antiquated views on women and sex are 2 main reasons to take religion figuratively because if you take it literally females and sex become evil and traps get shot on site.
Think of the traps people!
lol catholics
lol religion in general
A lot of people here are displaying ignorance to the Catholic faith. This story makes a lot more sense if you know the background to these people.
Basically the Catholic church views copulation as a 'sacrament' that is: a sacred ceremony with procreation, making babies, being the only point to it. So by using any form of contraception you are defiling the ceremony and committing a mortal sin which means you automatically go to hell forever. Since not going to hell is obviously more important than dying it's better to risk catching AIDS than risk tarnishing your immortal soul, so long as you're married and doing it solely for the purposes of procreation.
I make no apologies for this incredibly fucked up logic.
sarcasm?
no worst, sad painful truth. some of the ideas the Catholic fath run on is outdated by today's standards. also Index said it best, Politics got mixed in with Religion.
and this is one of the many many reasons the religious world was lucky to have Martin Luther.
After watching several videos by TOKYO HOT, I agree that wearing condoms will only make things worse. Also, I'm glad the Pope does not command Space Marines.
Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
-Albert Einstein, "Science, Philosophy and Religion: a Symposium", 1941
yup,and he's German too.
also Jewish.
contradiction?
Well, he does have a point.
Start handing out condoms to them, and they'll probably start doing it more. Not to mention probably using the condoms incorrectly.
What the region really needs is a better education system.
Yep. We will beat AIDS with a lot of friendship power. He's watching too many animus.
Suddenly I understand why he needs that bulletproof popemobile -.-
They will outbreed the condom users! Or kill each other off with extreme AIDS.
The latter is sorta satisfying, in a Darwin Award way.
Can we bring back Pope John Paul II please?
Masturbation saves !!!
the pope is a fucking idiot. fuck isms, haven't done anything but enslave and numb the minds and hearts of innoncent people.
I can't believe how many posts are spawned everytime there's a news topic regarding about Christfaggotry, as well as MikeeUSA trolling.
Mikee is a faggot.
Educational institutions are removed from official Catholic lists when they invite Hillary Clinton to speak. But have sex with children and all you have to do is repent.
Stay in your own damn country....those people have enough problems.....
what the pope is really trying to do is say this in a polite way: "STOP SCREWING EACH OTHER YOU HORNY LUSTFIELD AFRICAN BASTARDS! IF YOU'RE INFECTED THEN CONDOMS WONT CHANGED THE FACT THAT YOUR SCREWING IS CONTAMINATING OTHERS!"
Isn't that a nice summary of the point he's trying to make? <3
Africans can only be good at three things: running, killing themselves and having sex. Why tell them not to do the last two if only a handful marathonists can participate in the Olympics?
They've proven rather effective at overthrowing governments.
Does the Pope see the magnitude of human tragedy in Africa and now he asking them not to use condoms? What a motherfucker.
He is selfish and unreasonable. How can he call himself compassionate?
When I first saw the new pope, I thought "that guy's definitely a pedophile. He absolutely is the spitting image if pedophilia incarnate. WTF was the church thinking if electing him as head of state?!"
Therefore, not much was expected of him from me.
I'll lie down my take on this stright foward and honest.
I don't think Condoms by themselves is going to work
I don't think Abstance by themselves is going to work
I don't think religion by themselves is going to work
I don't think Edacation by themselves is going to work.
To get results you must use all of the about, and also I don't think the pope can get away with saying use condoms when get the urge for a quicke. if he did his followers would tar and feather him. and if they don't have tar and feathers they'll use hot wax and packing popcorn.
(has a vision of the pope hot waxed and popcorned)
Hmmmm... coooool.
Well that's my take. and to those who grip (that one unknamed person) if you want kids, condoms don't stop you.
he already got tared and feathered and waxed and popcorned after rehabilitating williamson, and not only by his followers
sure is a bold one to state something like this shortly afterwards
From now on I shall avoid all articles related to religion as long as they aren't at least also related to East Asia. This comment was written for the sole purpose of encouraging fellow users who too are annoyed at the recent shift of subjects covered to do the same, as dropping hit numbers appear to be the only language Artefact is willing to understand.
There's an increasing amount of Church problems/ scandals nowadays... I wonder why...
Maybe because Jewish control of the Media tightens nowadays...
>.< I hope all the comments here can solve the problem (more than arguing). LOL
with reading Pope to Africa: “Don’t Use Condoms!” i thought it was gonna be lulz. like, they're all gonna get it anyway, why bother .
"But they’re already fucking each other without protection. Hence the need for condoms. It’s sort of like handing out clean needles to druggies. If they’re already shooting themselves and don’t want to stop then at least they won’t put themselves and people around them in any more danger than they’re already in."
and being a druggie is such a good thing ya need to encourage it and hand em clean needles...
while the thought of 2d wives being sent there and having them get hooked on it is lulzy, its impossible. it costs too much. like computers, internet connection, not to mention other otaku stuff. only RICH countries have the luxury of 2d wives. that and its cheaper, easier and more fun to fuck your neighbor...
unfortunately more prone to HIV as well.
i don't care what you guys think, catholic is win.
kill someone = just say around 100 hail mary*
raep = around 70
steal = around 50
i mean, its all good, just say a few hail marys and yer golden mwahahahaha. you can do anyhing. course if the law gets ya yer dead, so kill witnesses aight.
*-the prayer
Don't they believe that raping a virgin cures one of AIDS in many parts of Africa? Of course, with all the AIDS and rape, all the AIDS infected men have to turn to newborns.
Dispite the graveness of this article, whoever thought, then conviced entire societes of that FACT must be the most epic troll in history.
Yep.
Thanks Pope for destroying in a few minutes the hard voluntary work of thousands of people.
Fuck him. It's because of minds just like his one that the church gets a bad image.
Because of actions like that we get to see new extremist actions and people getting one more reason to go all looney doing stupid stuff... like that case here in Brazil seen not long ago here in Sankaku.
I'm an atheist myself, but I don't mind religion and religious people, as long as they don't suddenly decide to go dark ages on my face.
Even the priests in Africa said WTF to his statements.
Priests in Africa and their flock are obliged to obey the pope because it's an "authoritative statement".
The reason why Catholics don't like condoms and anything outside of ejaculating inside a woman is because it's against natural law, which is to let the sperm meet the egg.
Also another "authoritative statement" is that man is not allowed dominion over his sexual faculties.
Apparently it was a medieval concept that they want to carry into today.
christianity is going down the road to mimic islam's way to extremism
Catholicism*
So who profits from them doing so? It's Judaism who's receiving the image boost they so desperately need after all those boys who died during circumcision...
Sadly it's a fact that many priests in Africa tell prostitutes (!) not to use condoms for the sake of their "salvation".
The Pope : Lawful/Evil
Since when he became a conscience to greater good while he doesn't know about his legion of priests commiting malicious mischiefs like being dumb and deaf during WWII?
I haven't really thought of the Catholic church as EVER being lawful evil- granted that's what they say they are (lawful) but their actions are more Neutral Evil from the church turning a blind eye to slavery , the nazi/jewish holocaust, and the excesses of their own child molesting priests.
Yeah definitely Neutral Evil!
Explain to me the dazling logic of how the pope is related to priests in WW2?
Sure, the bible says that we must pay for the sins of our fathers, but even it doesn't go as far as saying we are responsible for them.
I think he's talking about the pope letting holocaust deniers back into the church. A pretty sore subject since the pope was in the Hitler Youth.
so you think nazism and christianity is contradicting each other? please prove that
Shouldn't he be harming people out of malice in order to qualify for evil? Spreading "the word of god" is his job afik.
Don't relate him to D&D or we will have another bunch of brain dead fundamentalist fanatics who claim it is somehow related to the devil and satanic b*** s***.
...why is the bull censored?? Isn't Bull s*** good enough....hell, BULL SHIT!! CHRISTIANITY IS FUCKING BULLSHIT
Hey...is the "report" button a new feature?? I just noticed it yesterday...was it always there?
