Claim: Catholic Church in India approves condoms for married couples
I'm currently looking for some sort of confirmation regarding these claims made about the Catholic Church in India allowing condoms to infected married couples. If anyone finds one, please let me know.Faced with widespread criticism that its strident anti-condom stand has killed millions of people affected with AIDS, the Catholic church may review its policy. Church sources say the Vatican is preparing a document on allowing the use of condoms in certain cases.
Church sources said Pope Benedict XVI, who had two years ago maintained that “we have not changed our minds about the condom thing”, is moving away from the “absolutist stand of his precedessor John Paul II”.
On the eve of World AIDS Day, the Indian Catholic church sources said on Thursday that married couples could use condoms.
The Catholic Bishops Conference of India (CBCI), under the banner of the National Catholic Coalition for HIV & AIDS in India, is organising a pledge by one million youth across the country between November 30 and December 1.
Though the five pledges do not exhort the youth to use condoms, church sources said married couples may use condom. It is forbidden for others on the grounds that it promotes promiscuity.
