Dropping this here in honor of Pope-a-palooza [View all]



It truly is time to quit the Catholic Church.

There are lots of exciting possibilities on the horizon for combatting HIV and AIDS. HIV vaccines are around the corner. Unfortunately, the vaccine may not help the millions of Africans condemned to this illness by the Catholic Church’s stance against condoms. This summer Roman Catholic bishops in Kenya went even further, organizing a boycott of polio vaccines. Last year, the church urged Catholic Kenyans to boycott the tetanus vaccine, claiming that it was “a covert means of controlling the country’s population.”

The Catholic Church is killing people. Not by pulling a trigger or wielding a weapon, but by imposing Dark Age ideas on a vulnerable population.

This needs to be stated clearly: The Catholic Church is morally responsible for the deaths of millions of Africans. Those that have not died as a result of imposing this theology, the Church would now like to saddle with polio and tetanus.
