Credit: Reuters/Daniel Munoz/Files By Philip Pullella VATICAN CITY | Sat Nov 20, 2010 11:33pm EST VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Using condoms may sometimes be justified to stop the spread of AIDS, Pope Benedict says in a new book, in surprise comments that relax one of the Vatican's most controversial positions. In excerpts published in the Vatican newspaper on Saturday, the pope cites the example of the use of condoms by prostitutes as "a first step toward moralization", even though condoms are "not really the way to deal with the evil of HIV infection". While some Roman Catholic leaders have spoken about the limited use of condoms to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS as the lesser of two evils, this is the first time the pope has mentioned the possibility in public. The Vatican newspaper unexpectedly published significant excerpts from the book on Saturday night, days before extracts were initially due to be made public. The book, called Light of the World, is to be published on Tuesday. Benedict made clear the comments were not intended to weaken the Church's fundamental opposition to artificial birth control, a source of grievance to many practicing Catholics. NO FORMAL STANCE The majority of Church leaders have been saying for decades that condoms are not even part of the solution to fighting AIDS, even though no formal position on this existed in a Vatican document. The late cardinal John O'Connor of New York famously branded the use of condoms to stop the spread of AIDS as "The Big Lie". Last year, the pope caused an international uproar when he told journalists accompanying him to Africa that condoms should not be used because they could worsen the spread of AIDS. The Vatican's opposition to artificial birth control has been highly contested, even by many Catholics, since it was formalized in the late Pope Paul's encyclical Humanae Vitae (On Human Life) in 1968. Benedict says that "the basic lines of Humanae Vitae are still correct", indicating that his comments about condoms are not intended to apply to birth control, only to AIDS prevention. He says that the "sheer fixation on the condom implies a banalization of sexuality" where sexuality is no longer an expression of love "but only a sort of drug that people administer to themselves". The 219-page book is made up of Benedict's responses to questions by German Catholic journalist Peter Seewald over a month of meetings at the papal summer residence. After the pope first mentions that the use of condoms could be justified in certain limited cases, such as by prostitutes, Seewald asks: "Are you saying, then, that the Catholic Church is actually not opposed in principle to the use of condoms?" The pope answers: "She of course does not regard it as a real or moral solution, but, in this or that case, there can be nonetheless, in the intention of reducing the risk of infection, a first step in a movement toward a different way, a more humane way, of living sexuality." 1 2 Next World Health Comments See All Comments (6) | Post Comment Nov 20, 2010 7:52pm EST How can we have this discussion and not stop to ask: Is the church really doing more good than harm? How long will people go on listening to these crazies?!?! Of course condoms prevent the spread of AIDS and oh yea, the world is round…thanks Catholic Church, you’ve really been a benefit to humanity. bmmm Report As Abusive Nov 20, 2010 8:05pm EST Does he use sexuality as an expression of love? With or without condom? Isn’t this the equivalent of someone who has never flown a plane telling pilots at what speeds to take off and land? How he gets to make the rules on condom usage? Zan Report As Abusive Nov 20, 2010 8:43pm EST It is a losing cause pope. You should encourage chemical castration to all males born between now and 2020 and then worry about AIDS. bboodrybb Report As Abusive Nov 20, 2010 9:16pm EST The Vatican is losing all relevance. They need to step into the modern world. Their problems with child abuse, sex and women in the church leaves a lot of people unable to relate the Church’s teachings. I Broke with the Church when I was 15. Smartest thing I ever did. I don’t think God is going to damn anyone for not joining organize religion to worship him. nativearizonan Report As Abusive Nov 20, 2010 9:53pm EST Always recommended when members of the Catholic clergy commit sex acts of any kind. gunste Report As Abusive Nov 20, 2010 10:17pm EST How is catching AIDS any less the Will of God than getting pregnant? jtdunlop Report As Abusive See All Comments (6) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
