梵蒂冈解禁避孕套 称其邪恶性更小
http://www.sina.com.cn 2010年11月26日 10:36 环球时报The Vatican said Tuesday that using a condom is a lesser evil than transmitting HIV to a sexual partner - even if that means a woman averting a possible pregnancy, signaling a seismic shift in papal teaching。
Pope Benedict XVI said in a book released Tuesday that condom use by people was a lesser evil since it indicated they were moving toward a more moral and responsible sexuality by aiming to protect their partner from a deadly infection。
The book, called Light of the World, is a series of interviews with a German journalist and marked the first time a pope had ever publicly applied the theory to condom use as a way to fight HIV transmission。
The Vatican has long been criticized for its patent opposition to condom use, particularly in Africa where AIDS is rampant. But the latest interpretation of Benedict's comments about condoms and HIV means the Roman Catholic Church is acknowledging that its anti-birth control stance against condoms doesn't justify putting someone's life at risk。
Conservative Catholics have been trying to minimize the scope of what the pope said since the weekend. However, Monsignor Jacques Suaudeau, an expert at the Vatican's bioethics advisory board, said the pope was articulating the idea in church teaching - long practiced by some church officials with regards to condoms that there are degrees of evil。
美联社24日报道称，梵蒂冈周二宣称，尽管避孕套会使女性降低怀孕的可能性(不符合罗马天主教教义)，但若同将艾滋病传播给性伴侣这一行为比起来，其邪恶性还是要小一些。该立场意味着罗马天主教教义的变化堪比“地震”。
教皇本笃十六世在其周二出版的新书中称，避孕套的使用表明人们为了避免伴侣染上致命疾病，让性行为更加道德化、更加负责任，因而使用避孕套的邪恶性比较小。
该书名为《世界之光》，实为一名德国记者对教皇的采访稿组成，标志着史上第一位宣称避孕套的使用可阻止艾滋病传播的教皇的诞生。
据了解，长期以来，梵蒂冈一直因为其公开反对使用避孕套(在艾滋泛滥的非洲尤其如此)饱受诟病，但此次教皇对于避孕套和艾滋病理论的阐述意味着，罗马天主教廷正认识到自己针对避孕套的反节育立场并不是置人命于危险之中的正当理由。
自上周末起，天主教保守人士已经试图缩小教皇声明的尺度，而梵蒂冈生物伦理咨询委员会的专家杰克斯评论称，教皇只不过是在重申教廷长期以来的道德教义，因为和其他教会人士一样，教皇声明避孕套是邪恶的。
