The Pope and condoms...
As I understand it, the Pope responded to a question to which he gave a very specific answer.
He wasn't endorsing the use of condoms to prevent pregnancy.
He wasn't endorsing their use in recreational sexual relationships.
He was stating that an HIV positive male prostitute using one to prevent spreading his disease was taking a first step in getting some sort of morality back in his life. That was it. A first step and not a perfect one either ( a perfect first step would involve totally abstaining from sex, period ).
Not much there to get confused or excited about IMHO. Just further elucidation of Church beliefs.

The Pope said "may" and not "is" when referring to the acceptability of using condoms to prevent HIV/AIDS. He could have stated his response a little better, so that the media didn't chew his words up and spit them out so to speak. But, he didn't go against Church teachings.
I have also posted on this.
The Lamestream Media isn't great with subtlety.
Teresa, the Pontiff is a man of God and his words will get twisted seven ways from Sunday every time he opens his mouth. Something about the misdirection originated and supported by the Enemy I'd think.
Patrick Button, nope not at all.
This is definitely a place where people are trying to force the the popes words to match their desired meaning--like the loss of women's head coverings in the 60s.
It makes sense, what he said,after all. It's not like two sodomites are going to use a condom to prevent pregnancy.
IR, it's definetly wishful thinking on the followers of Moloch.
