"The Catholic Church has been accused of telling people in countries with high rates of HIV that condoms do not protect against the deadly virus."

Thanks for posting in my journal. I'm a bit embarassed but glad to see someone came by. I'm glad I read that article before I posted. I had no idea the priests were actually telling people that the virus passed through condoms. I'd heard on the radio that the priests were saying people should abstain and not just don't use condoms if you're HIV infected.

The article spoke about some preists who say only 5 Kenyans were infected with AIDS. I hate to say but in some African countries men believe that if they have sex with a virgin they can get rid of AIDS. That's so depressing!!!! Sounds like a bit of education is in order all across the globe.
