The Vatican came out with a landmark decision today. Condom use is the 'lesser of two evils' when they are used to prevent AIDS. Still evil, but not as bad as a deadly disease. What's sad is that this is truly a landmark decision. Up until now all forms of pregnancy prevention where deemed a sin. However now Pope Benedict XVI has slightly changed his tune. This quote from Yahoo News puts it best:
"This is admittedly a difficult distinction to grasp," he told The Associated Press in an e-mail. What the pontiff is saying is "that someone determined to do something wrong may be showing a glimmer of moral common sense by not doing that wrong thing in the worst possible way — which is not an endorsement of anything."
So if you're are going to be an evil sinner, be a moral evil sinner.
