Did they say that the religious reasons were "Catholic" reasons? Not all Africans are Catholics - most are not.

I have heard a lot of the religious purposes for not using condoms have to do with tribal customs. I heard one African guy in a documentary state that he believed AIDS was an evil spirit and a condom can't work against that. That certainly isn't a Catholic belief.
