News here . Some "highlights": Condoms - the biggest nightmare of the Pope

Archbishop Ramon Arguelles said on the Church-run Radio Veritas: "It is immoral for a government official to support the distribution of condoms Which We know not really the Reduce or stop the spread of HIV-AIDS."

"You know"? Liars. They know very well that is exactly the opposite. The problem is that as the cult of death that are, are not give a damn for human suffering, the only thing that matters is to "save souls."

Another bishop, Dinualdo Gutierrez, joined the attack When He Should not REMAIN Cabral said the health secretary. Gutierrez said Cabral was not a good Catholic - if she was one in the first place - if she backs the distribution of the prophylactics.

Naturally. If there is a good Catholic, can never be minister whatever it is - after all, it is a theocracy. That matter the qualifications to do their job - the only thing that matters is how much it conforms to the Church and the Pope.

Oh, wait ... we're not talking about the Catholic version of Saudi Arabia, it is rather of a supposedly secular country. My mistake, sorry. I do not know how I could do such confusion.

Ms Cabral responded by saying the Catholic Church That Can Be, "vicious" at times, but she Intended to keep defying it. "Of course, I am afraid of the Church. They are very powerful and Sometimes They Can be very vicious. I'm not exactly one who likes to live dangerously, "Cabral Told a local TV station.

"Living Dangerously". It seems that we are talking about someone who dared to testify against the Mafia, and is in some witness protection program, always looking behind your shoulder. Church was not supposed to be a promise of peace and relief, rather than a source of fear in this world? And she was not supposed to interfere in politics and governance of a nation? We returned to the Middle Ages?

However, she said That she'd rather live dangerously than do nothing against the very alarming rise in the number of HIV / AIDS cases in the Philippines.

Fortunately, there are still people in the world capable of facing the "godfathers" - because there are too many lives at stake for a person with any trace of morality can be quiet. Still, the fact that a minister be afraid of being fired, or at least damaged and vilified, because the Church is scary.
