Vatican City, Nov 30, 2015 / 12:12 pm
On a Nov. 30 in-flight press conference returning from his trip to Africa, Pope Francis said that efforts to push the Church to allow condom use to prevent HIV are too narrow and do not see the whole picture.
A journalist asked the Pope about HIV in Africa, saying, "We know that prevention is key. We know that condoms are not the only method of solving the epidemic, but it's an important part of the answer. Is it not time for the Church to change its position on the matter? To allow the use of condoms to prevent more infections?"
