For those who prefer not to follow links at work:

The article continues for about a page, but the first two paragraphs give the gist of it.

What he means is: we don't agree with sex outside of marriage, since condoms facilitate this, we'll just spread some false rumors so that the percieved choice is between abstinence and AIDS. That, because of these rumors, more people will end up being HIV positive, doesn't really matter, these people end up in hell anyway. If even a single person chooses abstinence over condoms, it is an extra soul saved.

Yeah. Europeans have never, never intentionally given diseases artifacts to other cultures to help them colonize a continent. Never happened.

Hang on. Conspiracy theory that governments are trying to kill black people, but also appears as though the Catholic Church is lying to people. Everyone back up, 2pac's head might explode trying to figure out what to believe here.

They already tried once and failed. This is clearly the beginning of Attempt II, Phase I.

I'm sure if the Archbishop says it is true then he must have hundreds of infected samples as proof.

The HIV virus can neither live on a condom, nor could it be transferred by skin contact.
