I just found this gem of a statement.

Comdoms

Quote:
In 2009, Benedict prompted international uproar when he told journalists condoms should not be used because they could increase the spread of Aids. In the book, he stands by his remark, but in more nuanced terms.

I am not sure how this following statement clarifies the above but what the hell.....

Quote:
He argues "condoms alone do not resolve the question itself. More needs to happen." And in the key passage, he says: "There may be a basis in the case of some individuals, as perhaps when a male prostitute uses a condom, where this can be a first step in the direction of a moralisation, a first assumption of responsibility, on the way toward recovering an awareness that not everything is allowed and that one cannot do whatever one wants. But it is not really the way to deal with the evil of HIV infection. That can really lie only in a humanisation of sexuality."
