This doesn't surprise me; I don't know how we're supposedly to look at ignorant and just plain untrue comments like "condoms won't help with the aids problem" and not think, "Wow, I guess the Pope just doesn't give a shit if millions of Africans live or die." I think that's probably true. I don't think it's really racism, just indifference...which is a damn shame considering the Pope is a leader in what is supposed to be a religion based on mercy and compassion.
It's this kind of statement that reveals the true goals behind anti-contraception, anti-abortion extremism: exercising control over people's lives and bodies, and punishing sluts who dare to violate the arbitrary rules laid down by religious authorities to ensure that control.

They seem to take pleasure in the misfortune of people because it vindicates their own petty-minded righteousness.

Exactly.
I think these people are so blinded by their own beliefs that they're not looking at the facts.
Bottom line, on this issue: if Pope Palpatine doesn't have anything compassionate or even useful to say about the AIDS epidemic in Africa (or any other issue), he should shut his fucking hatehole.
