Catholic Church enhances AIDS response

The Catholic News Service has a story about how the Catholic Church in Latin America is reacting differently to the AIDS and HIV epidemic.

The article says despite the Church's opposition to some methods of prevention, the Church community has made a point to address the problem in conferences and conversation.

Last month, bishops released a letter during the international AIDS conference in Mexico City urging people to fight discrimination and judgment against people with AIDS.

Mexican bishops especially prompted a fight against the stigma and discrimination associated with AIDS, according to the article.
