MR. PRESIDENT	It could be for example...all of the catholic priest who rape the little altar boys, you know that the catholic church is opposed to using birth control like condoms. I wonder how many of these pedophile and queer catholic priest had HIV/AIDS? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

boye	I dont see how...you cant get aids from masturbation Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

imacatholic2	I think it contributes to it, yes. VLR Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

imacatholic2	No. Judeo-Christian tradition has taught for thousands of years: 1. Single people should be celibate. 2. Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong). 3. Married couples should welcome God's gift of children and, therefore, artificial birth control is against the will of God. If the world is going to ignore teachings about chastity (1 & 2), then why is the world so upset about teaching artificial birth control (3)? People who are already ignoring the more important teachings about chastity (1 and 2) should have no problem ignoring the less important teaching of artificial birth control (3). Even if a person infected with AIDS was to use a condom to help protect his or her spouse, condoms are not 100% effective (read the box) and the spouse may be infected and die anyway. A person who truly loves their spouse would not endanger them in this way. In regards to sex outside of marriage, the Church makes it a practice not to tell people how to sin. Fornication with or without a condom is still fornication. Adultery with or without a condom is still adultery. With love in Christ. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

desotobrave	Uhhh....yeah, except the Catholic Church also frowns on multiple sexual partners, and pre-marital sex. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Double 709	No, ignorant people who don´t use protection and have multiple partners are to blame, regardless of their religion. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

regerugged	Yours is an utterly absurd question. You refer to a blog for information! That makes me question your intelligence or motives for posting such a question. Aids is a virus transferred from monkeys to man in Africa. It spread from there, by homosexuals. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

fr_chuck	no it is people having sex with multiple partners and not being responsible that is the cause, Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lydia	No, of course not. Don't believe everything you read. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

American Hero	Right. Since abstinence is the cause of AIDS. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

smcgilli	yeah - it couldn't possibly be the fault of people putting themselves at risk. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

zaphodsclone	No I think people having unprotected sex and sharing needles is the reason why so many have hiv/aids Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Brad B	That is obsurd. There is also the Christian principle of abstenence until marriage. If this principle was follwed there would be virtualy no worry about contracting AIDS. So don't try and blame Chrisitanity or the Catholic Church - look to the secular progressive lifestyles that so many have adopted that throws morals out the window. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Pask	It's a valid arguement, but I agree with one of her respondents regarding her half truths. It is not just the Catholic church, every denomination in one fashion or another, discourage premarital sex, as it is their job to uphold the moral fiber of their congregation with spiritual influence. And in a perfect society, their followers listen. But we're not a perfect society. The real problem comes when churches don't cover the other half of that moral upholding: working hand in hand with communities to educate about sex early on. If adolescents were encouraged to not to be ashamed of their bodies, or their feelings for that matter, at the same time taught that it is something to be respected, they'll be less likely to treat it like the carnival's in town. Churches need to step up and teach in the real world as it stands in the here and now. And what 's now, what's real is HIV among other diseases, pregnancy, and god knows what's next, and the afflicted are getting younger and younger. And if the churches won't do it, then the schools need to do it, and the community centers need to do it - because it's an overall health issue (physical, mental and emotional) more than anything else. So old girl hold fast to her arguement all the hell she wants, but the truth of the matter is the responsibility is more on us to come up with solutions instead of just blaming an institution for your personal immobility.
