Well, Smokey, what IS "the most effective circumstance in which to use a condom to prevent the spread of AIDS [which] has absolutely nothing to do with procreation or birth control"?

My guess is that you're talking about high-risk sex or homosexual sex, and the pope would disapprove of those "circumstances" more strongly than he would disapprove of the use of condoms. And gain, I ask why would any rational person who engages in "illicit" sex against the Pope's wishes, care what the Pope has to say about condoms?
