Pope says condoms may be OK in some circumstances

Quote:

"There could be single cases that can be justified, for instance when a prostitute uses a condom, and this can be a first step towards a moralization, a first assumption of responsibility, to develop again the awareness of the fact that not all is allowed and that one cannot do everything one wants," Benedict said.

Quote:

CNN Senior Vatican Analyst John Allen cautioned that Benedict's comments do not rise to the level of official Vatican policy, but show the pontiff has flexibility in the church's opposition to birth control.
Allen said that a portion of the book refers to condom use among male prostitutes.
"I think the point he was trying to make, when somebody is using a condom, not so much to prevent new life, which has always been the Catholic Church's big concern, but to prevent the transmission of disease than it would be OK," Allen told CNN.

Well this is a pretty big step for the Vatican.

Who knows, the Vatican may even condone dancing.

Even as a Catholic I think sometimes the Vatican has overstepped its authority.

From insisting the earth as the center of the universe to condoms. . . .

None of which has anything to do with the bible despite their claim with the first. I guess the higher you get the more clueless they get about God and the scriptures or the more ignorant.

An ideal Christian would not even in the first place be sleeping with a whore.

I can only imagine how many genuinely good Christians or event saints that they've killed with their past inquisition.

Mankind effort to do anything good has always been marred with man's fallibility. From government to religious bodies. I guess it's only human why we fcuk up so much in the world creating all sorts of pain and suffering to one another.

I would use one every time no matter what the pope said.

theres 3 things you can never trust when being with a lady.

1. Trusting you can just "pull out"
2. trusting she's on birth control
3. Trusting neither of you have an STD.

Castout,

You bring up excellent points about the differences between faith/spirituality and Organized Religion (with a capitol O).
