In another, related statement, the Brazilian church’s senior cleric, Cardinal Geraldo Majella Agnello, condemned government policies on reproductive health, which have won praise from international public health groups. The cardinal singled out sexual education and condom distribution programs, which have helped cut AIDS transmission rates in Brazil, and attacked them by saying they promoted immorality (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/09/world/europe/09cnd-pope.html?hp).
The above is case and point for my arguments. A Brazilian church senior cleric is saying sexual education and condom distribution programs are promoting immorality. He is saying this about a third world country who
Condom use in first sexual intercourse increased from 4% in 1986
to 48% in 1999 and to 55% in 2003, spurred by government programs to
increase awareness, decrease the price, and increase the availability of
condoms. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV/AIDS_in_Brazil)
Which resulted in this statistic, which in my mind curbed the problem from having another Africa.
the World Bank estimated that Brazil would have 1,200,000 in infections by 2000. However, by 2002, there were fewer than 600,000 estimated infections (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV/AIDS_in_Brazil)
I think the catholic church is pretty much publicly promoting genocide
of third world counties.
