Ex-Cardinal says Condoms may be "a lesser evil"

The Vatican is preparing to publish a statement on the use of condoms by people who have Aids, a senior Roman Catholic official has said.

[...]

The Vatican says abstinence is the best way to tackle HIV/Aids.

But last week, a retired archbishop backed the use of condoms for married couples to prevent Aids transmission.

Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, who used to be Archbishop of Milan, said that in couples where one partner had HIV/Aids, the use of condoms was "a lesser evil".

Damn. Never thought that'd happen. A step into the secular world. A small slightly, retarded baby step.

There is still something very odd about a man who does not and cannot have sex translating to other people what they should do in their sex lives.
