Take note that the expert in this story, Dr. Green, is
NOT a pro-lifer and is
NOT against condoms per se. But he is at least honest enough to admit that condom promotion is
ineffective at preventing HIV/AIDS infections. That is far more honest that the pro-RH fanatics we have here.
AIDS Prevention Expert Publicly Re-Affirms Pope's Comment on Condoms Was Right
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/aug/09082808.html
RIMINI, Italy, August 27, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Once again, the director of Harvard's AIDS Prevention Research Project has publicly affirmed that the Pope was right on AIDS and condoms, as Zenit reports.
Dr. Edward Green affirmed the Pope's teaching in an address this past Tuesday at the 30th Annual Rimini Meeting for Friendship Among the Peoples, sponsored by the Communion and Liberation lay movement.
"As a scientist [I] was amazed to see the closeness between what the Pope said last March in Cameroon and the results of the most recent scientific discoveries," said Dr. Green. "The condom does not prevent AIDS. Only responsible sexual behavior can address the pandemic."
. . .
In affirming the Pope, the AIDS expert also manifested a limited support for condoms, however, which is a view contrary to Catholic teaching. "The condom can work for particular individuals, but it will not serve to address the situation of a continent."
"To propose the regular use of the condom as prevention in Africa could have the opposite effect," he said.
