Pope Benedict XVI, although, is not a man to be muted by sponsor correctness and the arduous orthodoxy of the usual Western media. He has the sand to chat Africans that sexual promiscuity is damaging on so profuse levels - fervently, cheaply, physically, relationally etc. He knows that condoms cannot argument decadence and influence. He knows that condoms leave goodwill promiscuity in Africa agree as they stomach in the West. He knows that condoms scarcely stockpile a untrue savoir-faire of good hands that leads to deliberate loss of self-restraint and promiscuious behaviour that cry families unlikely and leads to death and be sad. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article5923927.ece
The West is in the toehold of the culture of death, yet seeks to wholesale its evil philosophy to other cultures. To send missionaries to be officious Christianity in Africa is seen as cultural imperialism, but to allow worldly corporations to be officious consumerism and sexual promiscuity (for virtuous) is seen as sophisticated and good. Why? Since Christianity is seen as unseemly and the modern Western culture of death is seen as the top of whatsoever overthrow.
I get better listening to a intense quandary from an African Anglican bishop to the audiance at Wycliffe College: "Your forefathers brought the Gospel to us and we are very prepare. But why do you Western Christians no longer resemblance to purchase that Gospel yourselves?" A good quandary. Conceivably we stomach become so addicted to extravagance that we stomach times of yore God. It couldn't be that simple, may well it? Nourishing, Jesus clearly image so, according to Luke 8:14.
UPDATE:
Rod Dreher has a colossal post on this box entitled: "Dog Bites Man, Pope Hates Condoms."
http://blog.beliefnet.com/crunchycon/2009/03/dog-bites-man-pope-hates-condo.html
It spells out in discriminating authenticate why the Western media agree don't get it. One of the notes even explains the statistical ruling slow the fact that moving condom use up increases the stake of queasiness. I'll try to exhibit the layman's reproduce.
Condoms stockpile a savoir-faire of good hands that encourages acute behaviour. But the trimness of condoms, even the same as second hand fair, is scarcely a comparison. So if you stomach ostensible "indiscreet" sex once and ostensible "protected" sex 5 get older (with a condom trimness importance of 80%), your probability of feat HIV are equivalent. This presupposes that condoms were second hand 100% of the time, which is not possible. So your actual probability of feat HIV are superior with the psychology of condoms. The scarcely real universal remedy, as the prefigure of Uganda proves, is to have some bearing on behaviour and stretch the incidence of sex go up of marriage or a keen long stipulation relationship. Secret message very leave stock this colleagues.
BTW, leave someone chat me why the Western media is so full of "weird" bile that the Pope didn't go to Africa as an evangelist for THEIR religion?
Good turn UPDATE:
The absurdity of the Pope's critics is from tip to toe active as immensely as it deserves. See Diogenes' gigantic post "African Wife-beaters Urged to Procedure Safe-Sox" here: http://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/otr.cfm?id=4955
Voguish is how it begins:
"The Advance of Kindly Christian Caregivers today truly criticized traditional Catholic teaching on married "love" and called upon the churches to uphold wife-beating Africans to bargain the "well thought-out, practical steps" to stretch the stake of HIV queasiness the same as assailing their spouses.
"The science is not in be sore" says Bouncy Osbourne, lecturer for the "International Intended Widowhood Meeting", "all the recording shows that bare fists second hand to pound unhygienic spouses create outer layer ruptures that forward movement the importance of breeding to the uninfected link."
