The Antichristian Phenomenon

This is perhaps a perfect example of outright lies used to further a theological position.

From the article…

A CATHOLIC leader has claimed condoms are infected with HIV deliberately.

Maputo Archbishop Francisco Chimoio, the head of the Catholic Church in Mozambique, claimed some anti-retroviral drugs were also infected “in order to finish quickly the African people”.

The Catholic Church formally opposes any use of condoms, advising fidelity within marriage or sexual abstinence.

Aids activists have been angered by the remarks, one calling them “nonsense”.

“We’ve been using condoms for years now, and we still find them safe,” prominent Mozambican Aids activist Marcella Mahanjane told the BBC.

The UN says anti-retrovirals (ARVs) have proved very effective for treating people with Aids. The drugs are not a cure, but attack the virus on several fronts at once.

It is estimated that 16.2 per cent of Mozambique’s 19million inhabitants are HIV positive.

About 500 people are infected every day.

Archbishop Chimoio said that abstention, not condoms, was the best way to fight HIV/Aids.

“Condoms are not sure because I know that there are two countries in Europe, they are making condoms with the virus on purpose,” he alleged, refusing to name the countries.

“They want to finish with the African people. This is the programme. They want to colonise until up to now. If we are not careful we will finish in one century’s time.”

Some 17.5 per cent of Mozambicans are Catholic.

I suppose that now the question is whether or not he actually believes this or is fabricating outright lies just to further the position of his institution. I suppose in some ways it doesn’t matter, as regardless of his sincerity, if people end up believing his nonsense he will only be further hurting those who he is attempting to “save”.

Another reason to both fear and oppose Christianity.
