I have recently received a question on the statements of Pope Benedict XVI, who approve the use of condoms:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0I recently read an article on UNIMEDIA on a statement of the pope: “In certain exceptional situations, condom use may be a solution.<\/em> These are the words that Pope Benedict XVI used to turn over the long-lasting Catholic Church\u2019s position against any forms of contraception. <\/em>The statement appears in a book called “Light of the World: Pope, the church, the Signs of the times”, which will be released on Tuesday.<\/em>\u00a0In an interview included in this book, Pope Benedict XVI says that condoms can reduce the risk of HIV infection, for example, for the who prostitute themselves.<\/em>\u00a0The pontiff insisted that a Christian attitude towards sexuality is the best way to fight against AIDS.<\/em> Pope\u2019s statements are a premiere and suggest a softening of radical position of Vatican to condoms.<\/em> I\u2019ll be very grateful if you publish your opinion about it.<\/em> Thank you!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When asked whether the Catholic Church is “totally against using condoms,” the Pope said: “It is, certainly, it does not see it as a moral and real solution. However, in some cases, when the intention is to reduce the risk of infection, condoms can still be a first step towards a different sexuality, more human.”<\/p>\n

\"Pope<\/p>\n

When he visited Africa for the first time, Benedict said: “It is a tragedy that can not be removed only through financial support or through distribution of condoms,<\/strong> which do nothing but aggravate the problem.”<\/p>\n

I believe that Pope Benedict XVI thought in human terms of solutions to reduce the spread of HIV\/AIDS, but how the words of Pope which are presented and interpreted in the media clearly show that immoral people will assume a lesser responsibility for their immorality, believing that the Pope supports and excuses their immoral way of life. The thought leads me to the Apostle Paul who said:<\/p>\n

\n

To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. (Titus 1:15)(NASB)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I fear that those who are immoral and unbelieving, because their mind and conscience are affected, they took the Pope\u2019s statement as a justification and encouragement to immorality that they practice. Perhaps it would be better if the Pope did not make this statement \u2026<\/p>\n
