Cardinal Martini Roundup

As you may have noticed, we've been covering Cardinal Martini's controversial comments to the Italian paper L'Espresso (on the legitimacy of condom usage by a spouse infected with HIV/AIDS) in great detail. Here's a roundup of our coverage so far:

1] Pope talks to Jesuits about obedience to the Church
2] A perfect example of liberal spin on Martini's comments
3] A scholarly response to Martini's comments by the National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly (and other sources)
4] Media fallout from Martini's comments (and my overview of them)
5] Catholic News Agency alerts to the story in English
6] Real Sex or Safe Sex: the Impending Catholic Controversy - Highly Recommended!

Also: L'Espresso's interview with the Cardinal (in Italian)

UPDATE: Amy points to this story, which claims that the Vatican is currently drafting a document that would permit the use of condoms for AIDS patients. I've posted my reaction to this news story here.
UPDATE 2: Cardinal Barragan's comments about an impending Vatican release of a document on this issue (which looks reputable) is garnering a tremendous amount of attention. A helpful clarifying description of the issues and most common arguments is introduced in this post.
UPDATE 3: A complete translation of Cardinal Martini's remarks and a roundup of Catholic News Coverage.
UPDATE 4: Clarifying interview with Antonio Soto Guerrero, secretary to Cardinal Barragan.
