Isn't it time that supposedly celibate octogenarians stopped portraying themselves as experts on sexual issues?

I'm referring to the pope's comments regarding Africa's HIV pandemnic and the (non) use of condoms. Aren't his remarks not only irresponsible but "un-christian"? Made soley to reinforce the Vatican's medieval stance on contraception, without any regard for the consequences to catholics in Africa?

    Why would they need a condom? Altar boys can't get pregnant

    Hey, those octogenarians could have been shagging like demons in the 1940's.

    Oh, you mean the pope. Yea, that was asinine, wasn't it. Almost as asinine as excommunicating the mother of a nine-year-old incest victim carrying twins for authorizing an abortion, but not excommunicating the filthy rapist of a step-father.

    I hate it when religious dogma causes tangible harm to people.

    Isn't that a crack up!

    It pretty easy to tell people to abstain, when you've reached the point in your life where you no longer care about sex.

    Then you can puff up with pride because you feel above it all, when the simple fact is, you are no longer biologically fit to reproduce. Like that's something to take pride in.

    Yes, these old decrepit VIRGINS should shut up on issues which, BY DEFINITION, they can have no idea about.

    This also includes the origin of the universe and all issues of science, like stem-cell research.
