He said no condoms, no sex outside of marriage. He didn't then say "But it's OK for married couples where one might have AIDS".Originally Posted by JB
We are not saying he wanted them to get AIDS, but when you have that much respect from people, you should be very careful about your teachings. If I said don't use condoms it's OK, cos no one's gonna listen to me. That's the thing, JPII was so reluctant to make any modernisations, that by doing so he he has effectively orphaned thousands of kids.
I have been studiny the fall of communism recently at University. None of the lectures, and none of the books mention JPII. In fact the first time I heard his name mention in relation to it was when he was about to die. People were practically saying he single handedly brought down the iron curtain.
