He said his department was studying the document, along with the scientists and theologians who wrote it.
"It is Benedict XVI who asked us for a study on this particular aspect of using a condom by those afflicted with Aids, and by those with infectious diseases," he added.
Asked whether he agreed with Cardinal Martini's views, Cardinal Barragan said: "It is a very difficult and delicate subject which warrants prudence."'
Please, please do the right thing here and relax the stance taken. Peoples lives at risk simply because of impractical doctrinal procedure. I am warming to Pope Benedict and he will rise further in my estimation if he goes ahead with this.
