Well, I suppose, it IS a start...
Condoms OK for Male Prostitutes/Pope
OK for male prostitutes? Well, the pope is caught up all the way to 780 BC.
All right Catholics, let's recap:
Family planning = BAD.
Male prostitutes = A-OK.
Finally discovered his inner bottom, I guess.
Family Planning = Bad, because to the Catholic Church, the main reason for marriage is procreation. Prostitutes = A-OK because they spread disease. Their main purpose isn't to procreate.
I for one am glad to hear the pope doesn't bareback with male prostitutes.
It's important for him to set a good example for the other gay priests.
Not to mention what it means to the prostitutes.

He did not say it's okay for female prostitutes. He specified male for a reason.
Possibly because he only gets plowed by the male ones.
And only the male ones who appreciate his Ruby Slippers.

Possibly because females don't wear condoms.
O RLY?
There are female condoms. And male condoms that female prostitutes carry with them, hence that scene from Pretty Woman.

Yeah, Plum. John Boy's really up on all the latest 1970s birth control devices!
What would it take to get you back to Mass?

The church only permits sex AS procreation- that is why they do not allow birth control. Any sex which CAN NOT result in pregnancy (Masturbation, oral sex, anal sex) is sin.
Now I'm thinking about that movie, Camila, that I saw a long time ago. Hot priest falls in love with the daughter of a prominent family.
"There may be justified individual cases, for example when a male prostitute uses a condom, where this can be ... a first bit of responsibility, to re-develop the understanding that not everything is permitted and that one may not do everything one wishes."
--Pope Benedict XVI
Be great if he could direct the "you can't just do whatever the heck you want" sentiment to certain self-serving political parties.
