Pope Benidect speaks out against condom use!!

The following is taken from Medical News Today

Pope Benedict XVI on Tuesday while heading to Yaounde, Cameroon, as part of a seven-day pilgrimage to Africa said that distributing condoms is not the answer to curbing the spread of HIV on the continent, the AP/Washington Post reports. "You can't resolve it with the distribution of condoms," Benedict said, adding, "On the contrary, it increases the problem" (Simpson, AP/Washington Post, 3/18). According to Benedict, addressing HIV/AIDS will require a "two-fold" solution. He said, "The first is a humanization of sexuality, spiritual renewal which brings with it a new way of behaving ... secondly, a true friendship, especially for those who are suffering, a willingness to make personal sacrifices" (Ward, Toronto Star, 3/18).

What do you think? wheres the harm?

Certainly humanising sexuality sounds good. True friendship and making personal sacrifices sounds right. Soooo here is my question. WHY CANT THE POPE MAKE A PERSONAL SACRIFICE AND SUGGEST THAT CONDOMS CAN BE PART OF THE SOLUTION?
