Okay to use condoms to prevent AIDS, especially in the case of male prostitution.

Plus, they're the right size of store stacks of communion wafers.

Doesn't go nearly far enough but it's a start I guess.

Does this mean that the Catholic Church is also condoning male prostitution?

Love the implication by the pope that HIV is a homosexual disease.

Then by implication lots of Catholic Priests are responsible for the spread of HIV. Or does it not count if one of the participants is under the age of 12?

Never expected that!

No, the angle he's taking is that because male prostitutes engage in sex where procreation is impossible, there isn't a reason to not use condoms, since you aren't thwarting the possibility of the miracle/gift/whatever you want to call it of conception.

I heard about this but didn't think it was true until I clicked the link in the original post.

Love how this is considered a "soft" stance by the church.
