The Pope For or Against Condom use? Condom use sinful?

[Kofi]

Last year when Pope Benedict came to Africa he said the use of Condoms is not the best way to fight HIV/AIDS. Infact he made it very clear that condom use is bad and that people should not use condom even as HIV continues to tear people into pieces. He said abstinence is the biblical and the best way to go. However, just a few days ago, Pope Benedict made another controversial speech in which he seems to support the use of condoms and now most people are confused. Condom use helps fight HIV and Aids and it helps save lives but the Catholic view has long been that condom use is a sin and that people should not use condom no matter the circumstances.

Is the use of condoms sinful? Why is the use of condoms sinful? Is the Pope for or against the use of condoms? What do you think about the use of condoms?

It is good to save lives and anything that helps save lives is good. They say money is evil but money helps save lives. They say money is evil yet they need money to run the church. The say thing applies to condom use. They say it is evil to use condom yet the use of condoms help save lives. They say it is a sin to use condom yet the use of condom help prevent the spread of the deadly HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. Condom use also helps control population explosion. I support the use of condoms 101%
