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.<br /><br />'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.'<br /><br />'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."<br /><br /><br />The worst is the tag-line because it fails to capture what is actually being said... as there is no "seismic shift" in the first place and this is a moot point because the Holy Father was speaking of extra-martial, not martial acts:<br /><br />"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."<br /><br />Link: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/eu_pope_condoms<br /><br /><br />The "journalists" still don't understand what they write about.
