IOW, the pope said nothing that was untrue and nothing wrong....it is just you don't agree.
If I were to give the Pope the benefit of the doubt, at the best he failed to communicate clearly on an important issue. It is highly misleading to say that condoms make the problem worse. If he had meant to say that having condoms available will increase promiscuous sex and therefore increase transmission because the increased sexual activity will outweigh the protective effect of condoms, that would have been less irresponsible/damaging, if not fully accurate. Do condoms really protect against STDs? - TODAY Health
I have no problem with him preaching abstinence first even if I doubt it will make a large difference in abstinence rates. I do have a problem with him undermining the efforts of harm minimization for those who are unwilling to be abstinent.
