<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><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><div><br></div><div>Corey</div><div><br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Nov 20, 2010, at 1:56 PM, "C. G.

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>
