dreamer_easyYay: An olive branch to other faiths: Catholics host an interfaith and ecumenical summit today. "There is no threat to Catholics from understanding other faiths and reaching out. I can understand the fear that some might have of diluting their faith but if you are part of a dialogue like this you tend to be committed and know a lot about your faith because you're called on to share it."
Nay: Condoms backing 'won't alter HIV spread', according to a visiting South African bishop. He claims that the HIV rate in South Africa is increasing despite the country being a leader in free condom distribution. Um, it's actually decreasing. However, sexism is preventing women from being able to demand condom use - in particular, from conservative men. Perhaps the bishop could have a word with them.
