Vatican Clarifies Pope's Statements on Condoms
By David Gibson - Politics DailyThe Vatican has clarified controversial statements by Pope Benedict XVI on condom use to prevent AIDS in an effort to end speculation that he has relaxed the church ban on artificial birth control.

The case was brought by Terri-Jean Bedford, a dominatrix by trade, along with two other prostitutes whose lawyers argued that Canada's laws prohibiting brothels, as well as ...

By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyHe didn't exactly join the chorus, but Louisiana Sen.
