Maestro - clearly you cannot help yourself. That view of the Catholic Church as a whole is as ill founded as smearing the entire American, German, or Japanese people for the actions of the government in the past, or as associating the actions of some Muslim clerics to all of Islam.
The sexual abuse scandal is a terrible thing, and deeply upsetting. It's difficult to identify a rooted cause for it within the Church. A search of sex offenders of my own zip code returns dozens of offenders. There are caes breaking out all the time of sexual abuse by teachers, Rabbis, Mormons, etc.
The individuals in the Church did not handle sexual abuse cases properly in the past, which is acknowledged by the difference in which accusations and allegations are handled.
Sexcrimes within the Church are still handled that way, my friend. Re-read my post, you'll see one or two stories that happened in the late 90s and in 2005-2008. And they were only a few exemples. If you dig a little deeper, you'll find at least one cause of sexcrime commited by a catholic priest in Canada every year since the late 50s.
... And most of them were covered up by either Archbishops, Cardinals or even the Pope himself.
Your Russian mafia comment is simply ridiculous.
Of course it is ! It was intented as a sarcastic comment... Now I'll explain the joke : if you introduce the bastard to you Russian-mafiosi cousin, then you must assume that he's gonna beat the living sh*t out of him, right ? Now, you get my joke ? Of course, you're not forced to find it funny.
As far as the Pope's comment regarding condoms - it was purposefully put out of context, and it seems that you don't mind that at all, since it fits your hostility toward the Church. Relying upon condoms is not going to bring about the end of HIV.
Of course I'm hostile to the Church, I've always been hostile to any religion trying to control my thoughts.
And of course the use of condom will not bring an end to AIDS, but it can greatly help to reduce the cases of HIV infections.
People will not always use condoms when they have them, they'll forget them, and do what they will anyway. Distributing condoms only serves to promote a type of lifestyle that contributes to the spreading of HIV.
Unfortunately, it is now my turn to call that comment ridiculous. If we give condoms to peoples, it can make them think twice before screwing without using a type of protection. Having sex when you use a condom is in no way dangerous.
While, to some extends, having unprotected sex with your wife (or husband) is unsafe. Because you don't know if he/she cheated on you recently... And if it did happen, if he/she used a condom. You have to thrust him/her.
So all that "no sex before wedding" story that we can hear in every religion is just a load of bullsh*t. If your married with your wife for 20 years (even though you were both virgin at wedding), it doesn't prevent you from getting a VD since your wife could... erhm... "look somewhere else"
afterward.
So as you can see, there is only one way to control the spreading of VDs (not only AIDS, but all VDs) : education
and protection. Religion won't help anyone in any way.
