Still the case for those who are not Male Prostitutes
It looks like 21 century ideas might begin to have the slightest bit of intellectual purchase with god’s go to guy here on earth. The pope, in his new book, has a section on condoms and reproductive health that suggests that condom use in certain situations could be considered acceptable. His popitude says:
“In a book to be released on Tuesday, the pope said that it was acceptable for male prostitutes seeking to prevent the spread of HIV to use condoms.”
Male prostitutes? That is it? No other case comes close enough to Papal reality to justify the use of condoms? Amazing progress consider this is the same individual as of 2009 that said this:
“The pope drew unprecedented criticism from European governments, international organisations and scientists in March 2009 when he told reporters while flying to Africa that condoms would not resolve the Aids problem there but, on the contrary, increase it.”
So, this is progress(?). During the inquisition it would be akin to a holy edict stating that the maximum weight used during strappado torture has just been lowered down to 5o pounds from 55 pounds. Woo ya!
Woo! Thankgoodness for papal mercy!
