When I heard on the radio this morning that a
pill has been developed that can potentially prevent HIV, I immediately wondered what the pope, who only Saturday agreed that condom use was permissible as a method of preventing spread of the disease between homosexuals, thought when he heard the news. If only he had held out one more day...
I also wondered why anyone cares what the pope thinks about methods of protection in the gay community. He approves of condom use but not of the people who use them, let alone the activity they use them for.
