thatcrazycajunYour latest idiotic statements reiterating your church's vehement opposition to the use of condoms in sexual intercourse—even to prevent the spread of a lethal, incurable disease—are not terribly surprising; I know full well you share your predecessor's obstinate, reactionary conservatism on a number of important social issues, which was part of why he elevated you to Cardinal in the first place.
But saying this on your way to a tour of Africa, where this pandemic is more rampant than anywhere else on the planet save China—and before you had even touched foot to the soil where 22 million people live with this scourge, and nearly a fifth profess membership in your church—not only continues your church's complicity in causing millions of needless deaths, but makes the job of trying to prevent it that much harder for my partner, who has spent the past two years toiling at the center of the effort to stem the tide of infections there...and already has far more to cope with than anyone should. She also calls your faith hers, so she will not bring herself to condemn you publicly; I, however, labor under no such constraints.
So I hope your God will forgive me if I pray that, when you finally come face to face with Him (assuming that your teachings are actually correct about His existence, Heaven and Hell and so forth), He throws you down into the lower depths of Lucifer's realm for all eternity for wrongly interpreting His will and adding to the pain, misery and shame that people with HIV/AIDS already suffer.
