Archbishop Of Mozambiques Condom Comment Proves He's A Dick

The head of the Catholic Church in Mozambique is under fire after bizarre allegations he made, saying that condoms shipped to Mozambique by European manufacturer's are deliberately infected with HIV:

Maputo Archbishop Francisco Chimoio claimed some anti-retroviral drugs were also infected "in order to finish quickly the African people".

"They want to finish with the African people. This is the programme. They want to colonise until up to now. If we are not careful we will finish in one century's time."

Considering Mozambique is a complete mess, with over 16% of its 19 million inhabitants infected with AIDS, these comments don't help in the slightest.

Africa is nearly impossible to understand through the eyes of the West. There are so many misconceptions about AIDS as it is among the thousands of African tribes, that when someone of such high stature says something so unbelievably stupid, it not only reinforces the lies that are out there, but this type of talk gains traction with the ignorant masses. Put it this way, if the head of the Church says it's true, it must be true. Yes?

However, the Archbishop did end up getting around to making a legitimate point:

"If we want to change the situation to face HIV/Aids it's necessary to have a new mentality, if we don't change mentality we'll be finished quickly," he said.

"It means marriage, people being faithful to their wives... (and) young people must be abstaining from sexual relations."

Even though the guy is stunned beyond belief, that pretty much is the only thing that will save Mozambique.

Thanks Anna!
