The Church approves the use of condom ... at least in Spain
The Spanish conference of bishops made public today, in a press conference right after the meeting with the Health Minister, their opinion about the use of condoms to stop the spreading of AIDS.
This oficial point of view is a slap in the face of the conservative sectors in the Vatican that still claim that condoms are not a good way of stopping AIDS.
Though unusual, it's not the first time catholic priests promote the use of condoms as the best tool to avoid the disease. In fact the Spanish Church has joined a group of institutions that already endorsed the abecedary (ABC -Abstain, Be faithful/reduce partners, use Condoms) on World AIDS Day that was published by 'The Lancet' one month before.

I must say I'm amazed the Spanish Church has shown some progressive thought on this issue.
Good for them, maybe is time they wake up.

Great movie! It's one of the few that hasn't been translated when coming to Spain. I think it would have lost a lot if they had translated the songs. Btw, did you copy the dialogues or have seen the movie so many times that you've memorized it?
Nice to see you back Blex. Yes, it's a nice step ahead but they have been warned by the Vatican today, so I don't know what this wil finally end in.
Chriss, you'd be surprised to see how many people would want the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to act as the Inquisition did centuries ago.
