It drives me absolutely mad when the media distorts the teachings of the Church or the comments of the Pope. The most recent debacle surrounds Pope Benedict's comments regarding condoms and male prostitution. And no, the Pope is not making a statement that condoms are permissive in this situation or that prostitution is a morally acceptable living.
For a better interpretation on this matter than what the secular press is relaying, go to Dr. Janet Smith's article (Note: I had Dr. Janet Smith as a professor in a class on the Theology of the Body at St. Paul Seminary in Minnesota and feel strongly about her views.) The article can be found by clicking the link.
