Pope: Some Condom Use Justified
A parishioner worships during mass at St. Ignatius Catholic Church on Sunday in San Francisco. Some Catholic believers in the Americas greeted Pope Benedict XVI's recent comments on condoms as a sign that the church was stepping into the modern debate in the fight against AIDS, though the church was adamant Sunday that nothing has changed in its views banning contraception. There was praise and wariness for the pope's comments that condoms could be morally justified in some limited situations, such as for male prostitutes wanting to prevent the spread of HIV.

Question: Do you see the Pope's comments about condoms as the beginning of a historic shift of the Roman Catholic Church toward birth control?
