While billboards, posters and festive decorations have been erected all over Rome to celebrate the upcoming beatification of the late Pope John Paul II next week, another set of posters around town is calling for charges of “crimes against humanity” to be laid against his successor, Benedict XVI, at the International Criminal Court at the Hague.

Christian Sailer and Gert-Joachim Hetzel have based their charges on the pope’s maintenance of what they call a “lethal” ban on the use of condoms for the prevention of HIV/AIDS.

The two say that Pope Benedict has established and maintained “a global system designed to silence and measures for dealing with crimes of a sexual nature committed by Catholic priests, which facilitates the continuous repetition of these.”

Although some mainstream media outlets, including the Irish Times, have run with attention-grabbing headlines, legal experts have called the matter a “crank case.” Media have largely ignored the affiliation of the two lawyers with “Universal Life,” a cult based in Würzburg, Germany, that follows the teachings of self-proclaimed “prophetess” Gabriele Wittek, who claims to receive messages directly from Jesus Christ. Sailer is also a noted “animal rights” activist and has written articles promoting the concept of constitutional rights for animals.

That’s pretty funny considering nobody is forcing anyone to be a Catholic, not use condoms, or have sex. :rolleyes:

It’s like making the Boy Scouts accept girls into their group. It would defeat the purpose.
 
Does nobody use any logic anymore? Have these guys seriously ever met anyone who assidiously obeys catholic teaching on contraception, but ignores it in the matter of promiscuity?
 
Didn’t they see the news? The Pope changed his stance…
 
The above WAS a sarcastic comment right? Sometimes I’m a bit dense :o
 
No. The news *does *distort everything, but essentially, the Pope said it’s worse to intentionally spread AIDS, than it is to use a condom … for male prostitutes… or something like that. It didn’t really strike me as a policy change so much as an eschelon of evil clarification. IDK

During an interview in the book, the Pope commented on how a male prostitute’s decision to start using condoms for fear he would give a customer AIDS would be a minor step back toward morality (acting out of a sense of not causing physical harm). But he never said that using condoms was a good thing in and of itself.
 
That’s right Godfollower. Glad someone here got the gist of what the Pope said 🙂
