Oh, Jizzy Chrizzy...

So, I appreciate that CiF commenters are mad as toast, but this gem, on a sensible article about Catholic attitudes towards HIV/AIDS in Africa, is really something:

Condoms only prevent HIV if the transmision (sic) they physically block exceeds the extra sexual promiscuity they psychologically cause.

Absolutely mental.

Does that make as little sense as I think it does.

*blinks* Are they actually trying to say that condoms are actually likely to CAUSE more cases of HIV then they prevent, because they encourage people to have sex? Really? What year is it? *boggles*

That's actually an improvement. I'm sure I've come across people who strongly believed that condoms increased HIV cases because condoms were impregnated with the virus which is illogical on so many levels.
