Et par m\u00e5neder etter at kardinal Ratzinger var valgt til ny pave, var det en sv\u00e6r abortdebatt i Norge (og jeg ble selv trukket med i debatten i et radioprogram – en lite vellykket debatt m\u00e5 jeg si). Ved pave Benedikts Afrika-bes\u00f8k blussa debatten opp igjen, og den gir seg ikke. V\u00e5rt Land trykker i dag<\/a> ei NTB-melding, som sier f\u00f8lgende:
\n«Pave Benedikt XVIs uttalelser om kondomer og aids vekker harme hos mange. Et av verdens mest anerkjente medisinske tidsskrifter, The Lancet<\/a>, beskylder Paven for \u00e5 forvrenge vitenskapelige fakta. Tidsskriftet krever n\u00e5 at Paven trekker tilbake sine uttalelser om at kondomer kan f\u00f8re til \u00f8kning av hivsmitte. «<\/i><\/p>\n

Jeg leste den aktuelle lederartikkelen i The Lancet, og ble lite imponert over argumentene. De ser ikke ut til \u00e5 ha lagt merke til at paven fokuserer p\u00e5 de menneskelige relasjonene for \u00e5 bekjempe HIV\/AIDS. Han sa f\u00f8lgende p\u00e5 flyet p\u00e5 vei til Kamerun: The solution can only be found in a double commitment: first, a humanization of sexuality, that is, a spiritual and human renewal that brings with it a new way of behaving with one another; and second, a true friendship, also and above all for those who suffer.<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

The Lancet skriver likevel f\u00f8lgende<\/a> i sin lederartikkel (uten \u00e5 bry seg s\u00e6rlig om hva paven sa, ser det ut til):<\/p>\n

The Vatican felt the heat from an unprecedented amount of international condemnation last week after Pope Benedict XVI made an outrageous and wildly inaccurate statement about HIV\/AIDS. On his first visit to Africa, the Pope told journalists that the continent’s fight against the disease is a problem that \u201ccannot be overcome by the distribution of condoms: on the contrary, they increase it\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Catholic Church’s ethical opposition to birth control and support of marital fidelity and abstinence in HIV prevention is well known. But, by saying that condoms exacerbate the problem of HIV\/AIDS, the Pope has publicly distorted scientific evidence to promote Catholic doctrine on this issue.<\/p>\n

The international community was quick to condemn the comment. …<\/p>\n

Whether the Pope’s error was due to ignorance or a deliberate attempt to manipulate science to support Catholic ideology is unclear. But the comment still stands and the Vatican’s attempts to tweak the Pope’s words, further tampering with the truth, is not the way forward. When any influential person, be it a religious or political leader, makes a false scientific statement that could be devastating to the health of millions of people, they should retract or correct the public record. Anything less from Pope Benedict would be an immense disservice to the public and health advocates, including many thousands of Catholics, who work tirelessly to try and prevent the spread of HIV\/AIDS worldwide.<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
