Pope change of mind, It's OK to wear a condom that it is one way to stop prostitutes spreading HIV

The Pope has broken with years of Roman Catholic teaching by saying the use of condoms can be justified ‘in certain cases’.
Benedict XVI appeared to signal that the contraceptive could be an acceptable means to stop the spread of AIDS.
But he made clear the comments were not intended to weaken the Church’s fundamental opposition to artificial birth control, a source of grievance to many practising Catholics.
He made his comments in a book which is due out on Tuesday called Light Of The World: The Pope, The Church, The Sign Of The Times.
Extracts were published last night in the Vatican’s official newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, and were interpreted as a significant change in the Church’s teaching.
The book, which takes the form of an interview, has been written by trusted German journalist Peter Seewald.
In it the Pope cites the use of condoms by prostitutes as ‘a first step towards moralisation’ even though condoms are ‘not really the way to deal with the evil of HIV infection’.
His comments are a significant shift in what he said during a trip to Africa in March last year, when he caused international outcry by saying the disease was a tragedy ‘that cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which even aggravates the problems’.
After the Pope first mentions that the use of condoms could be justified in limited cases, such as by prostitutes, Seewald asks: ‘Are you saying, then, that the Catholic Church is actually not opposed in principle to the use of condoms?’
Benedict replies: ‘She of course does not regard it as a real or moral solution, but, in this or that case, there can be nonetheless, in the intention of reducing the risk of infection, a first step in a movement toward a different way, a more human way, of living sexuality.’ The Pope goes as far as mentioning the ‘ABC principle’ (Abstinence-Be faithful-Condom) on stopping the spread of AIDS.
