Quack of the Week: His "Holiness" Pope Benedict XVI

AIDS "cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which even aggravates the problems".

- Pope Benedict XVI, recent message to Africans

Is this man really so ignorant about the basic facts of biology? I doubt it, but I bet he's hoping potential new recruits from Africa are. Maybe some teaching about evolution would be of use here? Maybe the drive to reproduce has more to do with mutation and our ancestor's success in passing on offspring and less to do with Satan and his condoms? Just a thought. Guess that's the problem with putting a 90-year-old virgin on the soapbox. And what's up with the dress?

Hopefully sensible catholics are smart enough to ignore this idiot.
