Obama Adviser - Pope Benedict XVI Is "Hurting People in the Name of Jesus"
CNSnews | Karen Schuberg | 3 Feb 2010
Harry Knox, an adviser to President Obama's Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships and a director at the homosexual activist group Human Rights Campaign (HRC), is standing by a statement he made last March that Pope Benedict XVI is "hurting people in the name of Jesus."
At the National Press Club on Tuesday, CNSNews.com asked Knox, "You put out a statement saying Pope Benedict XVI was - quote - 'hurting people in the name of Jesus' because he did not support promoting the use of condoms as a means to control the spread of HIV. And I was wondering, do you still believe the pope's position on condoms is 'hurting people in the name of Jesus'?"
Knox answered, "I - I do."
In a follow-up question, CNSNews.com asked Knox: "So, even in light of - Edward Green, a Harvard researcher in AIDS Prevention said the pope was correct in that condom use aggravates HIV, the spread of it, in Africa. So, in light of that statement, do you still hold to that position?"
Knox answered, "He is simply incorrect in his assertion. All the other evidence of science shows otherwise."
