Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Vatican: condoms don't stop Aids
The Catholic Church is telling people in countries stricken by Aids not to use condoms because they have tiny holes in them through which the HIV virus can pass - potentially exposing thousands of people to risk.
I don't even know where to start. Reading things like this makes me sad I was ever baptised and glad I never got confirmed.
The amazing thing is, they don't seem to be telling people to abstain, just not to use condoms. I'm livid, I don't know what to say...

What are you gonna do? After all, if a sperm is wasted god gets quite irate.
sorry to sound callous, but if i don't laugh about it, i'll cry instead.
