"Condom advice ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3176982.stm)
Health experts around the world urge people to use condoms to protect
themselves from HIV and a host of sexually transmitted infections.

However, the Catholic Church has consistently refused to back such
calls. The Vatican is opposed to contraception and has advocated that
people change their behaviour instead.

But according to Panorama, the Church is now telling people that
condoms do not work.

In an interview, one of the Vatican's most senior cardinals Alfonso
Lopez Trujillo suggested HIV could even pass through condoms."
