The Latex Papacy (part 2)
The Independent 's headline story today: Lots of whispered Vatican briefings apparently going on ... preparing the world for a change of policy? The paper was careful to draw the distinction I emphasised on 25 April between a change in the church's general strategy (not likely) and a change in the focused scenario of condoms used in a marriage when one or both of the partners is HIV-positive (increasingly likely).

Will ... When you mooted the possibility of a papal change of direction a while ago I thought you were sexing up the story in typical ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ fashion. Looks like i will be eating my words soon. Actually, if the pope does change the policy away from the current reprehensible approach, I will happily eat my words.
