Pope Benedict has been taking hits from the liberal press for daring to say that condoms aggravate the AIDS crisis in Africa. An AP story included the usual suspects claiming the pope is out of touch and worse. Rebecca Hodes of the Treatment Action Campaign in South Africa siad the pope's "opposition to condoms conveys that religious dogma is more important to him than the lives of Africans." But its Hodes and her ilk who are willing to sacrifice the lives of Africans for their liberal agenda. Planned Parenthood calls the pope's position "scary" as they continue to push condoms, abortion, the pill, etc. which do nothing but increase the suffering of third world families.
Dr. Edward C. Green, director of the AIDS Prevention Center at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies in a recent interview with National Review online said that, “The best evidence we have supports the Pope’s comments." Green is also now a target of the liberal establishment.
According to an article on EWTN's website, Dr. Green has a book which will be released in a few months called AIDS and Ideology It "will describe the industry in Africa that is 'drawing billions of dollars a year promoting condoms, testing, drugs, and treatment of AIDS' and is clearly resistant to the idea that behavioral change is the solution." Follow the money. Isn't it self-evident, however, that those who practice chastity before marriage and fidelity afterwards have no worry from AIDS? But there's no money in morality. And for many liberal ideologues that's what it's all about in addition to doing whatever they please regardless of consequences.
So never try to confuse a liberal with facts. They've already made up their minds based on their own personal virtual reality. They have a right to their own "truth" based on their libido and don't care whether it accords with absolute truth.
