Signaling a meaningful change from President George W. Bush's disastrous policies, the Obama administration last week endorsed a United Nations statement calling for the worldwide decriminalization of homosexuality. The primary opponents of this measure were radical Islamist countries and the Vatican, representing a new unholy alliance across the globe.
The previous day on his way to Africa, the Pope spoke to reporters about the role condoms play in the prevention of HIV. Unbelievably, the Pontiff said they make the epidemic worse.
"You can't resolve it with the distribution of condoms," the Pope told reporters aboard the Alitalia plane headed to Yaounde, Cameroon, where he began a seven-day pilgrimage on the continent. "On the contrary, it increases the problem."

Ding, Dong the Bush is Dead!
I love your blog, getting caught up to speed, especially when it's good news.
As for this Pope, he can't get anything right. But then what would we expect? They've been basing their doctrine on the "spill no seed" creed for so long, they can't exactly back out for something as inconsequential as AIDS.
As a recovering catholic who doesn't give much of a flip for what this or any Pope says, I do care that there are millions who listen.
phd you are awesome. I agonized over posting this one. God bless the Pope in all his misguided glory.
Check out phd's blog u will love it
