As the article points out, church officials have accepted "condom
use for ... couples [with an HIV+ spouse] to protect the uninfected
spouse from transmission." The pope's remarks will reinforce that
opinion. <br>

<div>Huh...Surprising. Like Carl implies, it looks like the Church
can permit condom use when it doesn't directly impede
procreation. So tell me if I got the Pope's view wrong: Condoms
used to stop diseases are fine, only when the sexual act in
which they're used cannot result in pregnancy. This is
surprising, since someone opposed to homosexuality could easily
argue that allowing for condom use among homosexual males is
also promoting sex that does not result in procreation. Like
everything coming from the Vatican, it seems a little
convoluted.</div>

His comment attracts notice only because earlier popes had
disapproved of condoms for birth control.<br>
<br>
I think it's fair to say that the pope doesn't approve of
homosexual acts among adult males.<br>

<div>Omg, color me shocked reading the Pope's stance
on the use of condoms for male prostitutes until I
realized that once again, this benefits ONLY males
(double duty this time, ya might say). So the pope
is okay w/ homosexuality so long as it's limited
to ADULT males?? Any chance that the Christian
right and tea-baggers will follow suit, do ya
suppose??</div>
