Pope Makes Opening On Condoms
Is the Pope now pro-male prostitute?
...Benedict says that in certain cases, such as for a male prostitute, condom use could be a first step in assuming moral responsibility for stemming the spread of the virus that causes AIDS.
The Holy See's chief spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, issued a statement stressing that the pope's comment in a book being published Tuesday neither "reforms or changes" church teaching, which forbids use of condoms and other contraceptives.
Neither was Benedict "morally justifying" the unbridled exercise of sexuality, Lombardi added.
