The CFFC ads imply that people die of AIDS because of the teachings of the Catholic Church. The truth is the Catholic Church, under the leadership of the Bishops, advocate the only lifestyle that completely protects people from HIV infection. The truth is the Catholic Church provides 25 percent of all health care in the world to people with HIV infection. These are the facts. It is expected that the misnamed Catholics for free Choice would lie about the Catholic Church. What is also shocking is that the taxpayer supported Metro would display these lies, concluded Father Euteneuer.
Washington Area Metro Authority displays bigoted, dishonest, antiCatholic ads
It is absolutely shocking that the Metro that prides itself on its service, responsibility and reliability would display ads that are so hateful, dishonest and insensitive, stated Father Thomas Euteneuer, President of Human Life International (HLI), the worlds largest pro-life, pro-Faith and pro-family organization, responding to the Catholics for Free Choice ads that the Metro system has accepted and that falsely accuse the U.S. Catholic Bishops of killing people.
These ads are not only dishonest, but they make Catholics feel like second class citizens and can be damaging to the self-esteem of Catholic school children and may very well encourage hate crimes, continued Father Euteneuer.
We are not helpless though. We can learn from the Montgomery Bus Boycott. If Metro does not rectify the situation, Catholics and all people who are opposed to bigotry should stop using the Metro system. We will not go to the back of the bus. We will not support a system that attacks our Faith, our heritage and our dignity, said Father Euteneuer.

I'll have to review this in the morning.
Jesus, who said "Ask and you shall recieve, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened for you, I humbly submit my prayer that these people will have a change of heart.
If the Taliban said not to jump in a lake, would you jump in a lake?
Francis Kissling and her merry band of carpet munchers at "Catholics for a Free Choice" try a different, albeit brain-dead, tact for changing Church doctrine.
This lady is miles to the north of a size 12, and has been carping about abortion for years.
She's gotten no traction with that issue, so now she tries to blame AIDS on the far-fetched notion that, because the Church discourages condoms, It is to blame for the spread of the disease.
O'Reilly tore this dog-faced dyke a new one a week or so ago.
Once again: the Catholic Church is not a political party, where what we believe depends on who is in charge. The Faith, as well as all of our practices and teachings, are rooted squarely in the Bible and Sacred Tradition. It's not going to be changed - ever. It's essentially all or nothing - if you use condoms, you are not Catholic. Period.
