"The Pope has signalled an end to the Catholic Church's policy of opposing all condom use – but only to tackle the Zika virus.

The Catholic Church has long maintained that any form of protected sex is a violation of the sanctity of life, with Catholic priests teaching that condoms are "evil".

In the past, researchers have linked the church's no-condom policy to the spread of HIV/AIDS, especially in areas where 'misconceptions' about condoms have been spread.
However, the Pope today signalled that Church would finally make an exception to its decades-long stance... for the Zika virus."

The article is inaccurate.

The Pope said that only infected mosquitos can use condoms.



Sometimes reality overtakes wisecracks.

LOL!  And certainly not to prevent pregnancy!
