Illuminating advice: abstain!

HIV/AIDS "... cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which can even increase the problem." (BBC News)
I've been more than absent lately from my blog duty, but the recent statement of someone that is expected to be illuminated and illuminating is... seriously I don't find the right term... irresponsible is not enough! criminal?! I do argue that there is a responsibility of the Pope (as a religious actor, as the head of the Vatican) to respect human rights law. And figure that, HRlaw has some provisions on the right to health and the right to life?! Hmm... the right to life should be quite familiar to the Pope, or shall we make use of it only when it conforms to religious dogma, when it doesn't it's sinful, isn't?! 
Outraged and appealed, this week I'll be donating some money to anti-AIDS NGOs distributing condoms.
