CNN: Pope says condoms may be OK in some cir stances

[silverblk mystix]

Really.........does anyone actually give a what the pope has to say?

be honest.........

I personally don't-for my sake.

But for the sake of the planet-since there are millions upon millions that do care about the pope-then it matters in that sense.

If the pope saying condoms are ok causes millions to use them who otherwise wouldn't, then it matters a whole lot.

But for the sake of the planet-

What planet are you from?

The Pope only really cares about Uranus.

Not necessarily true in all cases.

There are many,many people in impoverished places-latin american countries for example, that still consider themselves catholics and still follow the church's rules and will not wear condoms until the church says it's ok. Not all these people are nutcases.

For example there are many married couples who follow the church's rules and believe that the amount of children that they bear is just the will of god, just god's blessings-so to speak. These people are not nutcases they just have been conditioned and brainwashed to believe this. If this couple makes the equivalent of 3 to 7 thousand a year in salary but have 13 kids-then this is generally not good for the planet, not good for the kids,etc...

The church changing its stance and okaying condoms for example-is a big deal for the most part and long overdue as was already mentioned.

The guy in the pointy cap says only an extremely limited use of condoms ie male pros utes according to this Yahoo News clip. So how does this apply to all impoverished places like the Latin American countries married couples?

He used as a specific example male pros utes, for whom contraception is not usually an issue, but did not mention married couples where one spouse is infected. The Vatican has come under pressure from even church officials to condone condom use for such monogamous married couples to protect the uninfected spouse from transmission.

He didn't really, I was just thinking that this might be a start to the church softening their stance on condoms/birth control.

It's a reach, I know but, still if this is a new direction...it would be positive.

And I wasn't even referring to infected partners or anything-just hoping for a start to some kind of birth control among catholics.
