The Pope - My Fake Diary

Thursday, 26 July 2012

The Washington Express, a free daily publication of The Washington Post, put a four page ad on its cover by Catholic dissident group Catholics for Choice, which took remarks about Pope's stance on condoms completely out of context and claimed that "abstinence has a high failure rate."

The ad claims: "In November 2010, Pope Benedict XVI said that using condoms to reduce the risk of HIV can be "a first assumption of responsibility" and "a more human way of living sexuality." In other words, the ad claims that the Pope endorsed condoms!

I was not legitimising the usage of condoms, but declaring that in situations where mortal sin is already present (i.e, male prostitution), condom usage represents the first sign of concern for the well-being of the other in a relationship!

I hope this clears up the issue!
