As a Catholic, I have to respond that the faith teaches that sexual promiscuity is a no-no. If all these Africans were listening to the Pope as your friend claims, AIDS would not be a problem in Africa.
As a member of special operations forces, I went to Africa many times. Tell your buddy to do some research about the vast number of Catholic and Catholic-funded relief operations in Africa, who are working diligently to stem the tide of hunger, poverty, and disease there.
As a Catholic, I'm proud that the Church is at the forefront where social justice is concerned. I do think they are missing the boat on reproductive freedom. The tribal/warlord system uses this to suppress women.
