The Pope drops Catholic ban on condoms in historic shift - Telegraph

While he restated the Catholic Church’s staunch objections to contraception because it believes that it interferes with the creation of life, he argued that using a condom to preserve life and avoid death could be a responsible act – even outside marriage.
Asked whether “the Catholic Church is not fundamentally against the use of condoms,” he replied: “It of course does not see it as a real and moral solution. In certain cases, where the intention is to reduce the risk of infection, it can nevertheless be a first step on the way to another, more humane sexuality.”
He stressed that abstinence was the best policy in fighting the disease but in some circumstances it was better for a condom to be used if it protected human life.

Finally. They've still got a lot of reforming to do, but at least this is a start and will save many lives.

yeah. I'm always for 'soft landings' for people who stray, like if the pope thinks people should be abstinent, at least give a breaking mechanism for people who can't be. Same way I think heroin usage should be controlled but if someone's on heroin I think they should have safe and monitored ways to use it until we can get them off it rather than just ODing on infected needles

Certain cases??? man this dude is still in denial. The intention is ALWAYS to reduce the risk of infection.

Its not a real and moral solution. :wtf: When engaging in a sexual act, nothing is more moral than using a condom.

I can understand if having sex for pleasure was against your morals, but that is not equal to protecting yourself from its negative consequences. The catholic church still cannot separate those 2 thoughts.

i'm not saying it was the norm i just know that in my lifetime i've had this convo 3 times with teenage catholic leaning girls who got pregnant because their boyfriends told them condoms were against their religion.

I don't agree with it, i don't draw any conclusion from it aside from the fact that it was some of the dumbest and saddest shyt i've ever heard

I distinctly remember the faces on these girls when i told them premarital sex was also against their religion... They looked like the guy who just realized that the 10k wire they sent to Nigeria for their cut in the Prince's bank account was now lost.
