The other day, courtesy of a kind reader, I received a copy of the book "Culture of Life - Culture of Death", edited by Luke Gormally and published by the Linacre Centre. The book is a collection of 22 articles on various aspects of the subject. In the page about the book from the Linacre Centre you can see a list of the articles and some quotations from reviews of the book.My correspondent particularly wanted me to read Sr Miram Duggan's article "Combating the spread of AIDS". Sr Miriam is a gynaecologist and was (at least at the time of publication in 2002) Superior General of the Franciscan Missionary Sisters for Africa. She has worked as a missionary doctor in Africa for 30 years. She describes a practical and down-to-earth approach to behaviour change, working especially through the "Youth Alive" workshops which promote sound spiritual, moral and cultural values among the young and offer character-building to help them to live these values. She also offers evidence from Uganda, Kenya, and Zambia showing the success of this approach in significantly reducing the spread of the virus.
She is also very concerned to reduce the stigma so that a supportive response is given to those living with HIV/AIDS and encouragement given to them also to be part of the change of attitude that leads to effective reduction of infection.
In part of her conculding section, she says:
"If society addressed the root causes for the spread of the virus and returned to the values of no pre-marital sex and faithfulness in marriage AIDS could be drastically reduced. if the millions invested in Latex rubber as a prophylactic were instead invested in addressing the root causes I think the outcome would be much more beneficial to society."Sewn paperback, 352 pages, £17.95 (excellent value for such a collection.) There are ordering details at the Linacre Centre website.

Would it be charitable to send a copy to Cafod? Or do you think this would be a waste of time?

Not sure, really. I think CAFOD are fairly convinced of their position. Probably better to try to convince individuals.
Here's a thought. Prompted by reading 'Inherentracism' by Paul Jalsevac of Lifesite News. If you are reading this blog Paul, thanks, a brilliant treatise on Population Control....
Sir Francis Galton (1822-1911), journalist, political writer and sociologist, a Social
Darwinist and a cousin to Darwin, added further impetus in the 19th century to the claims of 'scientific' racism by providing extra 'scientific' proof for the inferiority of
those he and his elite group of buddies considered 'unfit'.
Like Malthus, he believed that helping the poor constituted a perversion of the laws of nature. He became the father of 'eugenics' or 'good birth', an ideology bent on implementing systems to actively 'better' the human race by weeding out those considered inferior. This is precisely the object of Eugenics. Its first object is to check the birth rate of the so-called 'Unfit', instead of allowing them to come into being, though doomed in large numbers to perish prematurely.
And so, Sr Miriam, I believe that we are battling forces and powers that have a very different agenda from what may be perceived on the outer levels. That AIDS and HIV are spread by the continued and State encouraged use of condoms should come as no surprise. That's exactly what Planned Parenthood (the modern Eugenicists) and their masters want - the eradication of the 'unfit' and 'undesirable' humans in their twisted minds, of the planet. They don't want people combating AIDS in Africa to be successful, they don't want love and chastity programs. Why do you think these programs are rejected out of hand again and again in favour of condoms.
I believe that the Eugenicists are content watching callously as millions upon millions of Africans die of AIDS and other diseases, hunger and associated malnutrition, as well as suffering war and famine. These are their big 'social experiments', how proud must Malthus, Darwin, Sanger and others be watching all this from Hell!
MUCH of Africa's suffering could be alleviated, but by deliberately foisting contraception and abortion, allowing the promiscuous behaviour to continue and selling $billions of arms and munitions to political tyrants and dictators, Africa is being robbed of her children, her heritage and the ability to pull herself, a noble continent of nations, out of perpetual debt, misery and darkness.
Just my musings, that's all.....
