You cannot fault the Catholic Church for individual people's desire to spread the disease. How many of those with the disease got it on purpose and spread it on purpose? Do your theories take that into consideration?

I'm not saying the Catholic Church is right, I'm saying that your belief that the Catholic Church is responsible because they are telling people not to use condoms is naive. It's likely that half those with AIDS spread it on purpose and how do you stop that? Do you really think telling them about condoms is going to help?
Wouldn't it just be better for the Church to promote the usage of Condoms *if* you plan on having sex. But then reaffirming their stance saying the only way to garentee protection from HIV is through abstinance.

That to me would make the most sense, and it isn't contradictory. I think it would be the most effective way of helping stop the spread of disease.
