as that great american denis leary said, "fuck the pope"

The Catholic Church is telling people in countries stricken by Aids not to use condoms because they have tiny holes in them through which the HIV virus can pass - potentially exposing thousands of people to risk.

The church is making the claims across four continents despite a widespread scientific consensus that condoms are impermeable to the HIV virus.

I believe you are engaging in what is called, in the vernacular of debate, an "ad hominem" attack. You assail the Guardian's credentials (which, in itself, is not unreasonable), but in doing so, you do not address the issue i put forth: the Catholic Church is run by senile and retrograde living fossils.

Here are other reports of this ridiculous assertion by the Catholic Church via Reuters (http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsPackageArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=385870&section=news) and the BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3176982.stm). I hope that they pass your journalistic muster.

Address it? It's axiomatic. They're morons. What else is there to say?
