Exceptions schmeptions...either walk the walk or..They have to make an exception for Gawd.
The entire reproductive policies of the Vatican is a joke. They disapprove of artificial insemination, yet the immaculate conception was the most artifical of all time.
prove god exists..........Hey!!! Pope can't condone rubbers. It's his job not to. God said so.
:confused3:
prove god doesn't exist.........prove god exists..........
Situation #1
A married couple. The husband is HIV positive. Condom provides protect to wife!

Catholics point out that if a couple, one of whom had the virus, consistently used a condom they would reduce the yearly risk of passing it on to the uninfected partner by about 87% - which they say falls well short of an adequate means of disease prevention.
Uganda used a policy combining abstinence, fidelity and - only if necessary - the use of condoms, to achieve a significant reduction in the spread of HIV.
Even some senior Roman Catholics take a pragmatic view of the use of condoms.
The Belgian Cardinal Goddfried Daneels said in 2004 that using a condom with the intention of stopping disease was morally different from using one to prevent the creation of life.
He said condoms could be the lesser of the two evils. Father Gerry O'Collins, Emeritus Professor at the Gregorian University in Rome, said the commandment 'thou shalt not kill', "trumps other issues".
And the church doesn't ban condom use in all cases, though it reminds people that isn't a long term solution as condoms are not 100% effective and she will still eventually get HIV.
One might ask how he got HIV following the popes advice?
The point spade is that if he was free thinking enough to disobey and have premarital or adulterous sex, then he should be free thinking enough to use a condom. The pope shouldn't have to change HIS position just because people are being morons about how they cherry pick through the rules.The husband didn't follow Benny's advice. But, that doesn't mean the wife should die from his pecker!
I have found that those who profess to adhere to restrictive religious beliefs are more likely to break the rules of their belief system than those who don't profess a belief system. So, why bother with religion in the first place unless you are trying to hide your perversion behind the mask of religion.
Many pedophiles hide in religion. Catholic priests come to mind. I would hope that pope Benny wears a condom when he is strapping on a alter boy.
I think the pope's mind needs to join the REAL world and quit living in MJ's Neverland. There's no population problem in Africa; no big gap in the food/person ratio. :roll:(CNN) -- Pope Benedict XVI refused Wednesday to soften the Vatican's ban on
condom use as he arrived in Africa for his first visit to the continent as pope......
