In the Watchmen movie, the god-like figure, Dr. Manhattan tells Rorschach: "I can change almost anything... but I can't change human nature."

And then we have this bullshit.

The Vatican is a corrupt fortress of bloated and dying men who believe they own this world. It is the world's smallest country, and it believes it has governing control over all of mankind.

The Pope tells Africa the classic "abstinence only" line that chastity groups have been tearfully swearing upon for many many years. Africa is one of the most diseased continents on the planet. We supposedly originated from Africa, and it's as if the rest of the world is genuinely terrified to travel there. At any rate, AIDS is prevalent in Africa, seemingly more-so than anywhere else on the planet.

So the Pope decides one day to splash some lemon juice on a nasty, NASTY wound. Condoms aren't the answer to AIDs! The only answer is to not have sex, and if you must, only give it to only one person.
This is another case of the church being so fucking far away from the rest of the world. Catholic priests take a vow of celibacy. No sex... EVER. Tis illegal, in a sense. This is reminiscent of Yoda telling Anakin not to have any attachments.

The reason behind the argument is simple enough.
People have sex.... try as hard as you may, unless there is something really wrong with you, the desire is going to someday over-ride your self-control.

Prohibition of sex leads to dissent. Just about every church out there has been found guilty of child-molestation and rape. I feel that if priests were permitted to have sex, less would be defiant. Not all, it would not solve the problem completely, but it would definitely help. Less repression, less of a reason. Ultimately, rapists desire power.

The possession of condoms don't make sex any more accessible than not having any. As said above, people are going to have sex. We live in a sexually active society. So when a vast number of the population has AIDS, HIV, or whatever STDs, is it safer to distribute condoms or just tell people that they need to go without? It's a no brainer.

But then, that's the liberal way of seeing things, isn't it? Anne Coulter would have a field day.

I'll agree, condoms aren't THE cure-all of sexually-transmitted diseases. The AIDs virus isn't going to just die off, but the less people infected, the safer society will be. Condoms don't teach irresponsibility. They don't teach anything. They are there to keep people safe. When weapons are no longer needed, condoms will no longer be needed.
