AIDS in Some Countries of Africa in Relation to Percentage of Population Catholic

Country
Percentage Catholic
AIDS Incidence
Swaziland
5%
42.6%
Botswana
4%
37%
South Africa
6%
22%
Uganda
43%

These figures were obtained from Michael Cook's Bioethics Newsletter. They refute the slanderous charges of journalists and writers in the UK and USA that Pope John Paul II should be blamed for AIDS in Africa. This idea, which Cook, quoting Orwell, says is "so stupid that only intellectuals would believe it," points to the anti-Catholic elitist agenda which, incidentally, seems to favor eradicating the poor people of the world. One of these writers, Polly Toynbee, gushed that "contraception is women's true savior," but the facts refute her. Faith in Jesus Christ and loyalty to the teachings of the Catholic Church is what stems the tide of AIDS. President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda promoted ABC -- Abstain, Be Faithful, use Condoms (if you don't do A and B) and said that "the alternative [to traditional values]  was decimation." The dramatically lower figures of AIDS incidence in Uganda supports the traditional sexual morality that is taught in Catholicism and in the world's monotheistic religions. What is particularly repulsive about the anti-Catholic sneers of people like Polly Toynbee is that such people never look to their own habits of consumption for the real key to the world's problems, nor to Cheap Oil for the real cause of overpopulation.  I wonder how long it's going to take before people get the idea that the Dictatorship of the Intellectuals is pretty rotten, and that the moral rottenness of our world owes much to the intellectuals.   See article posted on Crux News from www.techcentralstation.com/0610050.html for details.  These figures ought to open the reader's eyes to the real agenda of the contraception- and- condom crowd.
