Vatican might OK condoms for AIDS victims
Posted by Ray @ 10:54 pmIn an interesting turn of events, the Vatican might relax the rule against condoms when dealing with situations where AIDS is a big issue [link]. It seems the current Pope is more open minded than his predecessors, notwithstanding past… shall we say, mishaps (criticizing Islam, anyone?).
In an era where fundamentalism rears its ugly head all too often, it is nice to see a religion actively trying to deal with modern social and scientific issues. Kudos to catholicism for taking the time to entertain the possibility that what they are doing is not necessarily the best way of doing things.
