It is partly responsible because it doesn't allow birth control, which contributes to overpopulation in Third World countries, and doesn't allow the use of condoms that would prevent the spread of AIDS.

The blog from this writer is seriously flawed on two major points:
1) Condoms do not stop the spread of AIDS. The AIDS virus is 25 times smaller than a male sperm cell. Condoms do fail against preventing pregnancy because the sperm cell at times are able to pass through holes in the rubber on a microscopic level. Hence, with the AIDS virus being much smaller than sperm, the risk of contracting AIDS is still there, even with a condom.
2) The Church teaches abstinence. How can a person contract AIDS through sex if they aren't having sex?
God bless.

Oh now I think I have heard everything. The internet is so bluddy full of mis-information. Innocent minds have to be really careful what they take on board.
The catholic church.. no religious faith for that matter, has anything whatever to gain by being "responsible for the widespread result of HIV/Aids." ... nor has any Govt, secret society, conspirators, terrorists ~ whatever. Grow a brain dipsh*t, isolate and inoculate and it will all but dissapear.
It's not a "gay disease".

No.
Judeo-Christian tradition has taught for thousands of years:
1. Single people should be celibate.
2. Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong).
3. Married couples should welcome God's gift of children and, therefore, artificial birth control is against the will of God.
If the world is going to ignore teachings about chastity (1 & 2), then why is the world so upset about teaching artificial birth control (3)?
People who are already ignoring the more important teachings about chastity (1 and 2) should have no problem ignoring the less important teaching of artificial birth control (3).
Even if a person infected with AIDS was to use a condom to help protect his or her spouse, condoms are not 100% effective (read the box) and the spouse may be infected and die anyway. A person who truly loves their spouse would not endanger them in this way.
In regards to sex outside of marriage, the Church makes it a practice not to tell people how to sin. Fornication with or without a condom is still fornication. Adultery with or without a condom is still adultery.
With love in Christ.

I wouldn't blame it all on them. There are plenty of places like India and Africa, where HIV/AIDS are wide spread, and Catholicism isn't practiced very much.
