Clarifying the condom controversy

Sorry the blog lately has been more of a link service with the occasional "Hi, I'm here," but life with 5 is a little hectic. Anyhoo, I do want to point attention to this article from Joe Heschmeyer's blog citing the CDF statement clarifying the recent broohaha over misinterpreted statements that Pope Benedict made in a book interview. Those interested in understanding the truth ought to check it out.

Enjoy (what little is left of) the rest of Advent and have a blessed Christmas everybody!
