Will Pope's comments change the Church?
The Vatican has clarified recent comments by Pope Benedict XVI on condoms, saying he did not mean they could be used to avoid pregnancy.

The Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith said some analysts had misunderstood the remarks, made by the Pope in recently published interviews.

He said condoms could reduce the risk of HIV infection in certain cases, such as for a male prostitute.

The interviews were published in a book entitled Light of the World.

The Church's hard-line stance over contraception has led to the Vatican being heavily criticised for its position on the global Aids crisis. Some commentators suggested the comments represented a softening of this stance.
