A Jesuit defending the Pope on condoms
by Jeff Guhin

Never let it be said the Jesuits always disagree with the Pope.  Read it here!

My take on this is basically the same as before: I’m wholly sympathetic to taking on the ideological commitment to condoms for condoms’ sake.  The trick, though, is that even in condoms only work in certain communities, then use they where they work.  There is a practical argument here against condom use in specific circumstances, but not much of an argument against them as such, except from authority, which is not especially helpful.

…..you may disagree with the statement from authority, but don’t you see that’s why there is authority, the same reason that Jesus appointed Peter to be his authority here on earth. You have to have a final say, bottom line, the last call, an umpire when others disagree. There has to be direction when all others appear to be lost. Somebody has to be the heavy…………..peace….SG
