Pope reverses thousands of years of Church teachings as he declares: In some cases, condoms are OK | Mail Online

That's very kind of you your Holiness. As a practising Roman Catholic myself, I actually think the Church should take a more pragmatic view where contraception is concerned. I often wonder how many practising Catholics still keep rigidly to the churches teaching on birth control. In this day and age people should be able to chose how many children to bring into the world not take things to chance at the behest of the Church. It seems the Pope has said that people such as prostitutes should be allowed to use condoms in order to prevent the spread of AIDs, can't really see the difference in preventing unwanted children myself. Is this not just another example of the reasons why churches, not only the Catholic church, are on the decline, a move to 21st century thinking may just stem the flow away from the church door

I don't understand why anybody can allow another person dictate how they conduct their lives. Conscience is better than dogma anyday (if you have no conscience you are less than human)

the only reason why the pope is giving the ok to condoms is so that his priests will have less chance of leaving DNA behind and he wont have to appologise again :rolleyes:

I notice how the Popes Company VAT-A-Can, (Main distributors of Guinness),
is always quick off the mark for promotional gimmicks, e.g. Saints, Miracles and bleeding Palms, (I hate that Sunday).

Will they now start producing their own rubber liners?

From what I remember the usual ones have a 'use before date', will the new ones have a:-


Stamped on them?
