Cardinal backs use of condoms

For married couples, only if one has AIDS

That's big. And this guy is part of the "progressive" wing of the Church. The unbelievable part is that the Vatican doesn't support his position. This is just nuts. There should be no debate about this, it's an issue of compassion. Another in a long list of reasons why I'm no longer a Catholic.

The statement is in direct contradiction to the Vatican's position, which holds that condoms should never be used, even to stop AIDS spreading from one married partner to another. Last year, shortly after being named to the position, Pope Benedict XVI also said condoms should not be used to prevent the spread of AIDS in Africa, where most of the world's AIDS deaths occur.
