BBC: Condoms the cause of AIDS - catholic bishop
It’s amazing the lengths that some will go to to promote their own agenda, particularly when that agenda is a religious one, and especially when the claim made is so egregious and outrageous a lie.
I’m talking about archbishop Francisco Chimoio, head of the catholic church in Mozambique, who has claimed that some European-made condoms have been deliberately infected with the AIDS virus in order to finish quickly the African people
.
It’s difficult enough for African HIV/AIDS campaigners to attempt to fight the catholics in educating people to use condoms normally, without this sort of loathsome and abhorrent fiction to further confuse those who most desperately need help.
I have no idea as to what this imbecile’s motive was for making such a retarded claim. Perhaps this is now the official line from the Vatican, or perhaps it’s just a really stupid idea of his own making. Whatever the motivation, the world of sexual health professionals should be jumping down the throat, wearing rather large hobnail boots, of those that champion stupidity of this magnitude.
Needless to say, I’m sure this cretin has absolutely no evidence whatsoever to back up this idiocy, just like he has none to back up his god-claims.

The irony is, if there is any organisation that could be accused of deliberately infecting people in Africa with Aids, it would be the Catholic Church.

Apologies for the bad slug for this post, I didn’t see that when I published it.
You’re spot on with the irony-meter going off the scale, but I don’t think elimination of irony (or—as I prefer to call it when talking about theistic attitudes—hypocrisy) is high on the catholics’ agenda.
