The evil of the Catholic Church September 29, 2007

My attention was drawn to this story in an editorial by Terry Sanderson of the National Secular Society (of which I am proud to be a member). Let me repeat the core of the story here:
The head of the Catholic Church in Mozambique has told the BBC he believes some European-made condoms are infected with HIV deliberately.
Maputo Archbishop Francisco Chimoio claimed some anti-retroviral drugs were also infected “in order to finish quickly the African people”.
I wholeheartedly agree with Mr Sanderson that this is an extraordinarily evil and stupid thing to do. Isn’t it about time that this ridiculous policy of the Catholic Church is challenged and outlawed? How many lives must the Church be responsible for ruining with these evil lies? At the very least, the reprehensible Archbishop Chimoio should be removed, but no doubt he will be defended by the Church. If paedophile priests can be protected, then a little thing like lying and causing the early deaths of perhaps millions of uneducated Africans must be small fry.
The Catholic Church sickens me.
