My gut says that the Pope would say to obtain from anything except monogamy within marriage, and within that covenant there should be a safe environment for the sacred act of sex.
As far as going into other sexual rituals, I seriously doubt the Pope had anything more to say.

Does he mean holding it over it, or sort of balancing it on?
Or he could mean opening the Bible, putting your erect penises inside, then closing it again, but that somehow doesn't sound like the kind of thing he'd be in favour of.

The thing about his speech (the real one) that really pissed me off was that he said "spirituality" would be better for aids than condoms...
Aids or not.. condoms are Way better for sex anyway.. Abstinence is a joke.. and a whole bunch of Africans are not that well educated (and you could argue that im being stereotypical but look at the people gangraping lesbians to "cure them") and this asshole relegious icon.. says things that go against Things programmed into you.. Like sex .. that confuses people and leads to bad choices..

at the end of the "article":
Meanwhile the Vatican has issued this year's list of approved non-penetrative carnal techniques including pearl necklaces, light genital branding and something called 'Dutch steamboating'.
But I LOVE that we are trying to discount the Pope! What a joke the pope is nowadays...what a throwback.

Read the entire article. He is encouraging a change in attitudes toward casual sex. He thinks that lax attitudes toward sex leads to more exposure to AIDS. In Africa the cost of a condom may prevent even the most careful from buying one.

While this particular article is a satire, the fact of the matter is the pope DID say crazy things regarding AIDS, religion and condoms. It's not all bullshit.

It's satire. How many of you actually read the article? And how many actually understood that it was a joke? Obviously not many...
Don't get all frothy without fully researching a "news story". This is the FUCKING INTERNET FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Yes, the Catholic Church is against condoms. I'm pretty sure they're not advocating healing an incurable disease with a book. Unless the book's pages are made of uranium. And in that case, your AIDS, along with the rest of your corporal self, is dead.

Globally speaking, AIDS is a huge public health concern. And I see the pope is trying to use his faith to help those that are in need.
But saying that condoms can increase the incident of AIDS cases definitely does not help the situation. Education programs that teach about abstinence or safe sex practices is what is proven to prevent the increase in AIDS cases.

But there are some aspects to this story that are true; in the speech he gave he claims that AIDS needs to be fought with "spirituality" and that condoms do not prevent AIDS, in fact the opposite!

I am not a big fan of the Catholic church. However, since I have lived in Africa for almost 4 years now I can understand his points. He is encouraging celibacy, or faithfulness to one partner. I will not castigate my current home country, however, it should be considered that social norms are not consistent throughout the world. Most African cultures celebrate the birth of many children for a family. Men are also accepted to have mistresses or multiple wives. Condoms are not a traditional part of their culture, but multiple partners are. This is a recipe for the spread of AIDS throughout the continent.

From another source: "According to reporters present at the time, it's true. On a flight to Yaoundé in Cameroon, his first trip as pope to Africa, home of two-thirds of the world's AIDS sufferers, Pope Benedict XVI really did say that AIDS is a "drama that cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which on the contrary increase the problem."

I agree with you slarabee
kuklamania, telling people 'just say no' to sex, rather than providing true information about how to prevent AIDS is detrimental. Our natural instinct is to want to have sex. People are going to do it. No ancient superstition is going to stop this from happening and is therefore not the answer. If people are going to be having sex (they are), they should be told the truth that condoms HELP prevent AIDS. Abstinence may be the only guaranteed way, but if you think people are going to abstain, you are fooling yourself.
When attempting to intelligently fight the spread of disease, which is better:
1. The Pope and his religion's nonsensical, irrational, and false superstitions.
2. Science, facts, and reason.

I think that if the pope cares more about his followers than he does his reputation, he'll put scientific safety ahead of promoting ethics in the middle of a crisis.
And Kuklamania, if preaching about an epidemic is how the pope thinks he can help, then i'm afraid the great spiritual leader should consider at least wearing a red ribbon.
AIDS is realer than god, and he should guide his people to safe decisions rather than conscience-shattering choices that pit human health against religious faith. - 3 years ago
