Joan Frawley Desmond begins her latest Cathoholic article:
I recall a friend of mine arguing that Pope John Paul II was
responsible for the deaths of millions of people in the developing
worth who had died of AIDS.
"Why is the pope responsible? I asked, somewhat bemused.
"Because
he rejects the use of condoms," my friend replied. "So if some guy is
infected with AIDS, he won't use a condom with his wife, and then
she'll become infected."
"But the pope is also opposed to
adultery," I told my friend. "if that guy won't follow the pope on
adultery, why would he pay any attention to John Paul regarding condom
use?'
