Catholic God Revises Position on Condom Use

In 2009 God told Pope Benedict XVI to tell you that using condoms increases the problem of AIDS. It's now a year later and it looks like God has informed the Pope that it has an update on its position on condom use and HIV:

VATICAN CITY – In a seismic shift on one of the most profound — and profoundly contentious — Roman Catholic teachings, the Vatican said Tuesday that condoms are the lesser of two evils when used to curb the spread of AIDS, even if their use prevents a pregnancy.

...

The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, told reporters Tuesday that he asked the pope whether he intended his comments to apply only to men. Benedict replied that it really didn't matter, the important thing was that the person took into consideration the life of another.

"I personally asked the pope if there was a serious, important problem in the choice of the masculine over the feminine," Lombardi said. "He told me no. The problem is this: ... It's the first step of taking responsibility, of taking into consideration the risk of the life of another with whom you have a relationship."

"This is if you're a man, a woman, or a transsexual. ... The point is it's a first step of taking responsibility, of avoiding passing a grave risk onto another," Lombardi said.


Any guesses on what God's position on condom use will be next year?

Am I the only one that believes this is pure stupidity. Your telling me that after 2000 odd years of an anti birth control position "God" just changed his mind. This is like Santa Clause coming out and saying he's not delivering presents anymore, he delivers vegetables. People would just say WTF. I'm really having a hard time believing that people believe in a religion that a senile old man "talks to God" and tells you his change in position. It just shocks me that the mass public in the world is that blind and that ignorant. No wonder we are all going to blow ourselves up.
