.- Pro-life groups are meeting this week in Cochabamba, Bolivia, for week-long event on “The Truth about HIV-AIDS,” organized by the New Evangelization Apostolate. Among the objectives of the gathering is to show through scientific studies the failure of various AIDS awareness campaigns that have focused on mass-distribution of contraceptions, and to emphasize the need for promoting chastity, charity and community, as well as abstinence and fidelity, as the basis for adolescent sexual education.
Those speaking at the event include Dr. Pedro Perez Cardenas, Director of the Anti-AIDS Independent Committee (Spain); Dr. Ronald Sanchez Carranza of the University of St. Simon, as well as Father Miguel Manzanera, SJ, Director of the Institute on Bioethics of the Catholic University of Bolivia.
