1. Knox is absolutely correct. The Church has been complicit in the deaths of thousands of people with aids because of its stance on condoms, with women the primary victims. Typical short sighted male catholic thinking.

2. Mr. Knox is exemplary of the type of person our president chooses as one of his advisers. He brings to the advisory job an ideological agenda to promote, irrespective of what the facts say. As the director of the religion and faith program at the Human Rights Campaign, a homosexual activist group, naturally he couldn't possibly have anything good to say about Pope Benedict XVI, no matter what the pope did or failed to do. It doesn't take an Einstein to figure this out.

3. A True Democratic response. The Church can not be complicit in these deaths. The church has a moral and spiritual obligation to prevent such deaths as well as preventing Death of the Souls. Granted the church has WOLVES in sheeps clothing but to side with Knox (probable Calvinist) is to knock down that which Christ instituted and not the lame build congressional farce in DC.

4. I wasnt aware that failing to use a condom contributes to the spread of AIDs - I thought it was having sexual intercourse with an infected partner that was the culprit.

5. Pope Benedict is responsible for more deaths than any other person on the planet (especially women).
   
   He is also responsible for the soul murder of many young boys

7. In Africa, the use of condoms does not stop the spread of HIV or Aids as a woman's worth is if she has children and a man's worth is how many children he fathers. For HIV and Aids to be controlled in Africa their culture will have to changed.

8. I must assume that the radicalized comments against the Holy Father, the Clergy and the Church general are from Harden Hearts. The children and grandchildren of conciliarism would sooner have no church, no altar, no priesthood. We already have movements that meet this criteria. They are called reformed churches!

9. Wow... Who needs facts when you can make it up as you go along. the Pope is saving lives both in the womb and out of the womb in larger numbers than any one can imagine. he stands against killing babies in the womb, against the population killers when they are old and they starve them when their hospital beds. Partners spreading HIV remember celebant priest live joyfull lives without sex! condums increase sexual activity more activity more failures it is simple math.

10. I've looked at the clouds shrouding this issue from both sides, now I'm convinced that it is individuals and modernist society that are reponsible... for the promiscuity that leeds to AIDS deaths, STDs, and a more severe death rate by abortion; for the death of the traditional family unit; for a failure to adopt sound Catholic moral doctrine. Early abstinence training, adolescent responsibility training, and encouragement for young adults to be prepared for marriage before pursuing the urges of their biological timeclocks are 'keys to the kingdom'. The Pope and the institutional Church lead in charity and are responsible for upholding the truth, with love... this they do well in opposition to the sex peddlers that are truly responsible for the AIDs crisis.

11. In the first place, I am not aware of any other group that holds women in a higher light. You might try reading the encyclical "The Genius of Women" by JP II, you might also look at the women who are held up as great examples or courage and faith that even men should follow.
    Getting an idea of what does work for condom use in the prevention of AIDS would be good as well - only lambskin condoms work - not latex. Latex being the most co$t effective for the UN and are therefore what is distributed.
    Changing the cultural bias (predominantly Muslim) of those nations to grow in morality is the ONLY way to stop the spread of this plague and save the lives of men, women and children.
