Pope Benedict Says Condom Use May Be Justified In Some Cases


November 20, 2010 on Fox News
From AP:
Pope Benedict XVI says in a new book that condoms can be justified for male prostitutes seeking to stop the spread of HIV, a stunning comment for a church criticized for its opposition to condoms and for a pontiff who has blamed them for making the AIDS crisis worse.

The pope made the comments in a book-length interview with a German journalist, "Light of the World: The Pope, the Church and the Signs of the Times," which is being released Tuesday. The Vatican newspaper ran excerpts on Saturday.

  3. I think it's akin to allowing the consumption of canned food in certain cases, for example: When wishing to make a string phone.

  4. Creeping sanity? But, this can't go very far, since that would end the Cracker Cult's status as an outstanding misery cult, fully loaded with barking-mad ideas. They're holding a conference on exorcism, so it looks like there are still priests who're wannabe wizards--makes for a damn healthy religion despite this little concession to sanity.

  5. So some of the pedophile priests that the pope let go have gotten AIDs from little boy prostetutes.  So now the Vatican is taking measures to protect themselves. Makes sense to me.

  7. How many people have died as a result of the Vatican's dogma? And now they say it may be ok? Fuck you Ratzinger and the rest of your cretinous clergy.

  8. I'm not clear on this but guessing that the Pope is not considering allowing condoms to be worn by male prostitutes when with their FEMALE clients?

  9. I suggest everyone watch "outfoxed". One of the points of the movie is how FOX uses "Alerts" to make things seem important. The FOX alerts were created for live disaster situations like 9/11. The guy who created the idea said "fox is not using the alerts for the intended reason". But everyone here knows they are bullshit and I am preaching to the quire.

  10. This is a huge step forward, The church finally admitting that it was wrong about something.
