Subject: BS: Pope 'condones condom use in some cases
There you go. If you are Catholic and are in the habit of visiting prostitutes for the purpose of having sex, whoopee!
You can now use a condom.
Wow the mind boggles.
Quote from BBC News
Pope Benedict XVI is reported to have said the use of condoms is acceptable "in certain cases".
In a book due to be published on Tuesday, he said they could reduce the risk of infection with HIV, such as for a prostitute.
The pontiff is reported to have made the comments in an interview with a German journalist. The Vatican newspaper ran excerpts on Saturday.
The comments appear to soften the Roman Catholic Church's hardline stance.
