Kyselin kolmisen tuntia sitten:
Ohhoh! Missäs paavi on tuollaista HIV-parannuskeinoa tarjoillut?
Näin rajuun väitteeseen kaipaisi Puolalanluodon profeetalta hiukan lähdeviitettä. Kiitos jo etukäteen.
Jotenkin arvaan, ettei löydy. Mutta ehkä paavi on sanonut jotain muuta, joka on profeetan mielestä "periaatteessa ihan sama asia".
Pahoitteluni, en ehdi passata koko päivää palstan ääressä -
Katolisen kirkon (ainakin epävirallinen) kanta kondomien käyttöön AIDSin torjunnassa on ollut vähintäänkin epäilevä: On esitetty mitä erilaisempia teorioita ("HIV läpäisee kondomien mikrohuokoset" jne.).
"The traditional teaching of the Church has proven to be the only failsafe way to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS. For this reason, 'the companionship, joy, happiness and peace which Christian marriage and fidelity provide, and the safeguard which chastity gives, must be continuously presented to the faithful, particularly the young'"
(Benedict XVI to the Bishops of South Africa, Botswana, Swaziland, Namibia and Lesotho, On Their "ad limina apostolorum" Visit. June 10, 2005)
"In the past, the Catholic Church has steadfastly opposed all means of artificial contraception, even the use of condoms for those infected with the HIV virus. HIV is widespread in the developing world, where the church is active on the grassroots level. It has always maintained the position that birth control should be exercised by abstinence or natural means, such as the rhythm method, which has been mocked by critics as "Vatican roulette."

Up to now, the church had also condemned the use of condoms for married couples, even when one of them is infected with the AIDS virus."
