Looks to me people confuse the issue of Hierarchical Church's 'formal' position on codoms and the Pope's comment during a flight. They are different issues, and the Pope himself, perhaps deliberately, leaves out commenting about the former issue. <br /> So Green's comments too must be seen as far as they are relevant to the discussion of what the Pope explicitly said about condom distribution in Africa rather than to a broader context of whether the hierarchy must approve condom use or not. Green does not and does not claim to be a dogmatic spokesman for the Church or the Pope. No doubt, he disagrees on several points with the Pope and the Church. Should one always attribute hidden intentions through a convoluted argument when one simply says he agrees on certain issues and disagrees on others?<br /> The general topic of whether the Church must proactively approve condoms is a hot and perhaps debatable topic, but is not relevant in the given context.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679290714543133460.post-88019649533998962142009-05-12T18:28:00.000+09:002009-05-12T18:28:00.000+09:00Green's position is that condom distribution has l...Green's position is that condom distribution has largely failed in Africa due to contingent factors of African sexual culture; he is not in agreement with the Vatican (Card. Trujillo et al.) that the use of condoms is always immoral. However, Green's view seems contradicted by the reported Ugandan success of condom distribution in association with education in abstinence and fidelity. Generally, I feel that Green's "The pope is right" stuff is a bit of a stunt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679290714543133460.post-11693885696960333432009-04-21T03:09:00.000+09:002009-04-21T03:09:00.000+09:00Do scientists conclude their findings based on pol...Do scientists conclude their findings based on political views of time?

One can assume that the crux of the matter in the termination of the program was the fact that Green’s scientific findings were not supporting modern progressive attitudes and they were not exhibiting political correctness of our time.<br />Sofia<br />Washington D.C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679290714543133460.post-46086624994098798222009-04-04T21:03:00.000+09:002009-04-04T21:03:00.000+09:00Edward Green is trying to rewrite history here.

When he was asked by Crawley (see the transcript) if Harvard was closing down his program because he was politically incorrect, he said he wasn't sure if his political incorrectness was the issue, said you'll have to ask Harvard. That looks to me like he was hinting that he may have lost his job because of his views. Now's he's playing dumb on the issue. I don't buy it, Dr Green.
