So finally, the pope has indeed endorsed the use of condoms, not as contraceptive measures but as a means to prevent the spread of HIV. Although many have welcomed his comment on this controversial matter as reasonable in the fight for HIV, others are concerned it could, "open" pandora's box" as it could see the rise in the number of youngsters having "protected" sex given that fornication is a sin. In my opinion, it does not make any difference as it is very hard to find youths of these days not committing fornication anyway when sex appeal has become the order of the day. Better safe than sorry I say and it is surpirising that decision was not made earlier. Anyway, as the leader of millions of catholics worldwide has spoken, it is certain that at the very least, everyone can do away with the hypocrisy now.
