Nattering Nabobs on Condoms

From the Augusta Chronicle The pope sees the problem,

What the nattering nabobs are missing in their feverish attempts to discredit the pope is: Condoms are a purely physical response to a multifaceted problem of the human soul and society.

The real problems are promiscuity, infidelity, and cultures that reduce women to sexual vessels.

In some areas of Africa, for instance, refusing sex is not an option for a woman.

In other words, rape is the norm.

If the media got half as worked up about the treatment of women in the world as they do to shout down the pope, the world might just be a better place for it.

Sometimes I think our American blinders block out the larger world of the human soul, society, and lands like Africa.
