Pope Benedict: Dead Wrong On Condoms

Having never used a condom, what insight does Pope Benedict have on the matter? Isn't it his job to end suffering?

Pope Benedict XVI said on his way to Africa Tuesday that condoms were not the answer in the continent's fight against HIV, his first explicit statement on an issue that has divided even clergy working with AIDS patients.

If he is trying to emulate Jesus, living in his mansion with the Papal jewels, how do you reconcile the wealth and the total lack of caring?

Is it semantics: they are not the answer? Maybe they are not the answer as in a "cure", but condoms help thousands, if not millions, of women from getting HIV and AIDS from men. How can Benedict look at at all the suffering and orphaned child, or even children with HIV, and think, "yeah, we need less condoms so we can increase the chances of this pain in the world".

The Church is so out of step with helping modern day problems because they cling to Bronze Age text.
