No it's not, it's against 'the church' which is not religion and is just a way of trying to control what ignorant people do. I also heard recently that the Catholic church added to the Cardinal sins, one of these sins added was 'unecessary or excessive wealth'. What ****ing hypocrites, the Vatican city is a perfect example of excessive wealth, this is another example of the church trying to control people. Utterly pathetic.

Yes, oh btw...how many schools, international hospitals, orphanages, refugee camps, disaster recovery units would you bother your cute little head to fund?
Everyone who has done the slightest bit of research knows the Vatican itself is in deficit.
Originally posted by Grand-Moff-GavWhatever good they may have done is cancelled out by it's refusal to promote the use of condoms in Africa and thus causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of uneducated Africans who believe the crap the church comes up with. And no, anyone who's actually been to the Vatican can quite clearly see that they're not in any 'deficit'.

Nonsense- they prohibit the use of Condoms because they are contrary to God's law. The Church is the earthy judge on that and it has judged.
Also, you have no evidence to support yout claim.
Oh really, tell me who is gonig to buy the Sistine chapel? How is going to by one of the Statues of an Apostle?
'Religious institutions remain one of the biggest obstacles to encouraging safe-sex practices. Many churches in Africa, including the Roman Catholic Church, still condemn the use of condoms, even to prevent HIV infection'
The clergymen say the first stereotypes they had to break were their own. They and their churches once preached that the disease was a punishment from God and that condoms promoted promiscuity and infidelity.'
Is that enough evidence for you? Because this is a well known fact, not just a 'claim' i made. Your hopelessly ignorant.

You have no evidence- thats not evidence, thats just someone who agrees with you.
Condoms are wrong, the Church is simply sticking by that believe...
I know a better way to cut AIDS in Africa- tell them to follow Church guidelines.
Only have sex with your wife/husband.
If you do that, you can both be tested for AIDS- if one of you have it, don't have sex. That way your safe.
However, they don't follow Church teachings on not having sex out of marriage do they- so what makes you think they follow the teachings on condoms?
(Also, on the case of rapes- people who commit rape are also violating Church teachings, thus it they are not going to care what the Church says on Condoms are they?)

At a bare minimum you have to cite the source for it to have any backing whatsoever.
