The "condom decision" - decided before it's actually made?

Jeff Miller had an insightful point in one of the comment boxes below:
"[The news coverage of this debate] reminds me of all the reporting in the sixties as to how Pope Paul VI's encylical Humanae Vitae was going to allow the pill."
And sure enough, when all we actually know is that the Vatican may be preparing a document in this issue, I now see headlines like this:

HEALTHCARE: The Vatican to Allow Use of Condoms

"Rome - Soon the Vatican will allow the use of condoms, article published in Rome newspaper La Republica reads." [sic. - source]

Hold on everybody. Last time I read my Ratzinger Fan Club T-Shirt the back reads "Truth is not determined by a majority vote." And this man is pope now. And he still believes that. And thank God.

So don't worry, we're in good hands. And as for the liberal media taking it upon itself to decide a question before it's even being asked ... well, there's nothing new under the sun, now is there?
