Vatican Message for World Day Against AIDS

(a few days old; it was 29th Nov)

I have slightly edited the message to high-light the points of particular interest to me & I have noted where I edited. There is a link for the full text at the bottom of the article:

The best cure is prevention to avoid infection by HIV/AIDS, which we should remember is transmitted through the triple route of blood, transmission from mother to child, and sexual contact.

As regards transfusions and other forms of contact with the blood of an infected person, today such infection has been notably reduced. [next bit cut out]

We may thank the Lord that contagion from mother to child is strongly controlled by suitable drugs. [end of paragraph cut out]


The third pathway of infection -- sexual transmission -- still remains the most important.

This is greatly fostered by a kind of pansexual culture that devalues sexuality, reducing it to mere pleasure without any further meaning.

Radical prevention in this field must come from a correct conception and practice of sexuality, where sexual activity is understood in its deep meaning as a total and absolute expression of the fecund giving of love. This totality leads us to the exclusiveness of its exercise in marriage, which is unique and indissoluble. Secure prevention in this field thus lies in the intensification of the solidity of the family.

This is the profound meaning of the Sixth Commandment, of the law of God, which constitutes the fulcrum of the authentic prevention of AIDS in the field of sexual activity.


[next para cut out]

26.7% of centers for the provision of care in relation to HIV/AIDS in the world are Catholic based.

When will the world realise that only by following God's Laws will they be able to solve the problems that plauge humanity?
The only tools that Satan can ever provide are akin to throwing petrol on an already blazing out-of-control fire.
