The pope should be prosecuted
I would like to follow on my yesterday’s Pic of the day showing this poor guy who’s selling stall has been cleaned up by the police to prepare the pope’s visit.
This pope declared: “You can’t resolve it with the distribution of condoms,” the pope told reporters aboard the Alitalia plane heading to Yaounde. “On the contrary, it increases the problem.”
I know the catholic church has always rejected a lot of scientific evidence and as long as it doesn’t hurt anybody who cares? Let them continue to live in ignorant bliss if they want to.
But for the leader of a faith that counts so many millions on this planet, a percentage of which really believes in that stuff, to publicly assert something like this is condemning millions to die of AIDS. In my eyes, this is a crime and should be prosecuted as such.
As far as I’m concerned this is not really different from Hamas’ leaders declaring that Israel should be wiped off the face of the planet.
Leaders who’s words have a significant consequence on the lives of a great number of people should be held accountable for irresponsible declarations that have a life and death impact on so many.
It’s not a war crime, and I’m not sure under which crime category this should fall, maybe we should invent something like the law of responsible public declarations.
Even though he’s a religious leader, the pope is a leader like any other and should be held accountable for his declarations and in cases like this one prosecuted and punished.
