So Pope Benedict XVI is in Africa this week and is maintaing the Vatican’s strict no condom policy. I really don’t understand the research the Vatican has used to come up with a policy that does exactly the opposite of what it is supposed to. Abistence only programming has been shown to be ineffictive. In an age where people are having sex at a younger age, when partners are not being monogamous, when partners are not being honest, condoms seems like the best solution we have to fight AIDS. For the Pope to go to Africa, especially sub-Sahara Africa, and continue to condemn condom use is completely irresponsible. I truly hope the Pope, the Vatican and the Catholic Church can really get with the times and stop living in the fantasy past.
Pope Benedict XVI, kindly shut it

Catholicism is scary to me. That is all.
