.- During his remarks at the Synod of Bishops for Africa taking place at the Vatican, Bishop Joseph Shpandeni Shikongo of Capra, Namibia said condoms spread a “secular and relativistic vision of sexuality” and “encourage promiscuity,” thus increasing the spread of AIDS.
 
Speaking about the public health situation in Namibia, the bishop explained that while the Church in that country does everything possible to promote abstinence in the fight against this disease, she cannot compete with the government, “which is much better financed, has international advisors and access to the national media: television, radio and newspapers. So it has a greater influence than we do.”
 
Thus, the bishop continued, “a secular and relativistic vision of sexuality is spread. For the government, the primary concern is the prevention of infection and the main practical means of avoiding it is the condom: thus an unrealistic trust in its efficacy is being promoted.”
 
“The inefficacy of this means,” he explained, “is deliberately ignored and explained in a vague manner. Thus promiscuity is encouraged, which leads to a greater number of infections.”

Condoms help control population which is a very serious issue. People have never just "behaved" throughout history and we need any help we can get.

Abstinence and chastity before marriage and faithfullness after marriage is the only proven 100% remedy to stop the spread and scourge of Aids and HIV throughout Africa and the entire world. May a God of love, hope and mercy illuminate mankind to the whole truth and nothing but the truth of his infinite goodness and mercy for each one of us.
