Will the Vatican Promote Condom Use?

Looks like the Catholic Church finally realizes it needs to "update" its unrealistic birth control and AIDS prevention policies:

The Roman Catholic Church might ease its longstanding opposition to the use of condoms to prevent AIDS, a senior church official says.

In comments published Sunday by la Repubblica, Cardinal Javier Lozano Barragan said Pope Benedict had asked him to study the issue. Barragan heads up the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Health Pastoral Care.

"This is a very difficult and delicate subject that requires prudence," said Barragan, according to a Reuters report.

George. H.W. Bush, aka "rubbers," will be proud.
