Head Scratcher of the Day: Response to Pope’s Acceptance of Condom Use

Pope Benedict XVI recently spoke out about condom use among Roman Catholic believers. The pontiff acquiesced to the fact that condom use can be an effective tool in combating the steadily increasing number of HIV infections amongst those in countries most ravaged by the disease. This revelation is quite interesting because the Vatican remains opposed to contraception of any kind. Pope Benedict’s admission is a life-preserving acceptance of reality. 

In response to the pontiff’s message, a … um, devout follower expressed her support of his declaration. 

Here’s how it was reported: “As a sex worker, Constance Makoni, from the town of Mbare in Zimbabwe, said she was pleased to hear the Pope’s message. She said she uses condoms to protect herself against HIV, even though it is against her beliefs.”

Er?
