Here is part of an address to the United Nations during the recent high-level plenary on HIV/AIDS on June 8-10, delivered by Archbishop Francis Assisi Chullikatt, Permanent Observer of the Holy See. You all have to take notes, copy and paste his words, and spread them all over the internet. It’s more proof that the Catholic Church is actively anti-human, and pro-suffering.
The Holy See rejects references to terms such as “populations at risk” and “populations at higher risk” because they treat persons as objects and can give the false impression that certain types of irresponsible behavior are somehow morally acceptable. The Holy See does not endorse the use of condoms/commodities as part of HIV and AIDS prevention programmes or classes/programmes of education in sex/sexuality. Prevention programmes or classes/programmes of education in human sexuality should focus not on trying to convince the world that risky and dangerous behaviour forms part of an acceptable lifestyle, but rather should focus on risk avoidance, which is ethically and empirically sound. The only safe and completely reliable method of preventing the sexual transmission of HIV is abstinence before marriage and respect and mutual fidelity within marriage, which is and must always be the foundation of any discussion of prevention and support.
The Holy See does not accept so-called “harm reduction” efforts related to drug use. Such efforts do not respect the dignity of those who are suffering from drug addiction as they do not treat or cure the sick person, but instead falsely suggest that they cannot break free from the cycle of addiction. Such persons must be provided the necessary spiritual, psychological and familial support to break free from the addictive behavior in order to restore their dignity and encourage social inclusion.
During negotiations, the Holy See rejected the characterization of persons who engage in prostitution as “sex workers” as this can give the false impression that prostitution could somehow be a legitimate form of work. Prostitution cannot be separated from the issue of the status and dignity of persons; governments and society must not accept such a dehumanization and objectification of persons.
Not even wrong.
STD and teen pregnancy under abstinence-only sex education.
Injecting rooms benefit all, not just drug users
Why on Earth is anyone still listening to these clowns in robes and their outdated and reprehensive morals, that are based on a fiction book from some bygone era of humanity ?
