Vatican plays down Pope's remarks on condoms

The Vatican has long opposed the use of condoms as a form of contraception

The Pope made clear in his view condoms were not the answer to Aids.

But he said their use could sometimes be justified in exceptional cases.

The Pope considered an exceptional situation in which the exercise of sexuality is a real danger to the life of another.

Benedict used the specific example of a male prostitute using a condom.

The Vatican has long opposed condoms as an artificial form of contraception.

This had drawn heavy criticism, particularly from Aids campaigners, who said condoms were one of the few methods proven to stop the spread of HIV.

The head of the United Nations Aids agency, Michael Sidibe, said the Pope's words were a significant step forward.

Although the Catholic Church needed to go further in supporting condom use for preventing the spread of Aids.

After reading this piece of news, I think that I don’t agree with the point of view of the Pope.

I believe that the condom is one of the best ways of contraception if we don’t want to get pregnant and most of all, we don’t want to get Aids.

So, I can’t believe the things that Benedic said in this article because I think that he has an old fashoned mind and nowadays everything has changed.
