‘Pope” would not have been his title. He was not catholic.

I agree many have died due to persecution, maybe many millions. Even one death by anyone is not acceptable. I was just saying that the article was rubbish. You can't just subtract two numbers and attribute the resulting death toll to one thing. Where does he get the numbers for the world population, and where did he get those crazy growth rate figures?

I would rather call them opinions than lies. You are free to believe whatever you want.

Personally I don't think the Pope had anything to do with worsening of the AIDS epidemic. I think the Pope is just a scapegoat here.

Why is there religion?
