His comments and actions have, to my knowledge, been solid. But opportunities abound to respond to the tragedy! Evangelization! Excellent piece - hard to find this kind of analysis elsewhere.

Many have "Human Papilloma Virus," a common cause of cervical cancer. The CDC has recommended the new vaccine for all females over 11 years of age with the presumption of course that they will all be fornicating ad lib soon. We hear adds on the TV for the vaccine, but never do we hear that it's a STD. Is it hopless as Dowling suggests to give any moral message? What does God have to do with STD's? We've been told! - Willie Wed, 24 Jun 2009 10:02:55 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/compassion-not-capitulation-on-aids.html#comment-2189 "Abstinence before marriage and faithfulness in a marriage is beyond the realm of possibility here,” Dowling insists" This is a scary statement but a obviously a realistic onel: it implies a total lack of discipline, moral commitment and places human beings at the level of an animal without any control over their biological urgings. Is this what we have become as a race? 25% of teenage girls in the US have STDs? What has happened to our moral compass? - Liz Wed, 24 Jun 2009 06:48:58 +0100
