to Priya Lynn…

True I feel at times my understanding of God makes my relationship with him extremely personal. However, it’s ridiculous for any one to suggest God only belongs to one person. Having said that,,,, you need to read my initial comment above. In it you’ll find where I point out how God presents the best method for problem solving, not the outcome…. The end result always depends on the way any individual applies the Lord’s principles.

Better luck next time Lynnie

WOW…So he really thinks that male hustlers are all gay. Stop thinking that all gay men go around giving it up the butt. I know a lot more str8 men and women that love to give band receive up the butt then gay men. You must first be educated on the sexual practices of humans before making a stupid statement like that. Wake up people I think your Antichrist is ahead of the churches and will say anything to start violence and chaos. Live and let live and leave the poor alter boys/girls alone.

Right Spartann, because no religious person with faith in your god has ever failed to overcome any adversity.

to Richard Rush…

A faith in God is not demonstrated by foolishly tossing one’s hands up…. but instead, knowing God will provide the impetus necessary to overcome any adversity………. In other words my friend, it means you’re given a choice….. Now it’s up to you to do the next right thing.

Instead of endorsing the limited use of condoms, why didn't the Pope just invoke the power of prayer? Well, probably for the same reason that he travels around in public protected by bulletproof glass. Nothing says "faith in God" quite like the Popemobile.

From the pages of ‘The Telegraph’, we learn today that a spokesman for Pope Benedict XVI has confirmed that the pontiff’s remarks were meant to cover women and transsexuals as well. A spokesman for His Holiness reported how he asked the pope if there was a serious distinction in the choice of male instead of female and he said “no”. The Pope further went on to say, “If it is a man, a woman or a transsexual who does it, we are always at the same point, which is the first step in responsibly avoiding passing on a grave risk to the other.”

Hey coming from the Pope it’s a start…and shouldn’t that be the message all of society acknowledges instead????

The Vatican is now saying that using a condom is still not moral, but it’s less immoral than having unprotected sex and transmitting HIV.

Fr John’s seeing this condom use as not aggravating an already gravely immoral situation – therefore merely a prevention of further disorder ; bearing no laudible credit whatsoever…a neutralising of aggravation is not direct moral agency – like kicking a cat into the road but waiting till the bus passes rather than kicking it under it.

@Adam

I don’t think the pope wants to actually say “anal sex.” So saying “male prostitute” makes people think “anal sex.”

However weird you think Catholic theology is and however incalcitrant this Pope is on matters of sexuality, this is an important step. No organization has done more to prevent condom distribution than the Catholic Church. Besides removing an obstacle to condom distribution worldwide for male prostitutes, this opens the door to allowing ANY condom distribution. If some of the rubbers intended for male prostitutes happen to find their way into the hands of female prostitutes, well, gosh, I’m sure the distributors didn’t mean for that to happen. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
