JOIN US: Condoms for Pope!

popedevil_shortJoin us in prostest against Pope's genocidal ban of condoms in Africa. See you on Monday 28 September by the statue on the Wenceslas Square. We start at 4pm! 

Pope Benedict XVI said condoms are not the answer to the AIDS epidemic in Africa and can make the problem worse. With this comment he started a trip across the African continent which is home to 22 million people living with HIV/AIDS, that is 70 % of HIV positive adults and 80 % infected children worldwide.

Catholic Church has been persistently claiming that abstaining from premarital sex and marital fidelity – not condoms – are sufficient prevention of HIV/AIDS. How does this strategy translates into reality? Most African women get infected by their first sexual partner, actually their husband.

Pope’s attitudes clearly show us that he is more interested in preserving dogmas than saving lives of African women, men and children. With his statements, he is spreading myths instead of helping to stop the HIV/AIDS epidemics. This costs people’s lives.

Therefore, as the Pope will visit the Czech Republic we will gather together to express the protest against his genocidal politics. Come to support us, together we will blow up condoms for Pope.
