ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE – Pope Benedict XVI said Tuesday that the distribution of condoms is not the answer in the fight against AIDS in Africa.
Benedict has never before spoken explicitly on condom use although he has stressed that the Roman Catholic Church is in the forefront of the battle against AIDS. (Oh yeah?) The Vatican encourages sexual abstinence to fight the spread of the disease. (Brilliant idea! 
)
"You can´t resolve it with the distribution of condoms," the pope told reporters aboard the Alitalia plane headed to Yaounde, Cameroon. "On the contrary, it increases the problem." 
Some priests and nuns working with victims of the AIDS pandemic ravaging Africa question the church´s opposition to condoms.
...
He said that while the church does not propose specific economic solutions, it can give "spiritual and moral" suggestions. (Gee, thanks Benny 
)
Describing the current crisis as the consequence of "a deficit of ethics in economic structures," the pope said, "It is here that the church can make a contribution." (Again Benny, your generosity is overwhelming!)
Another example how religion hurts people.
