For journalists and observers who missed it the first time, and the second, the Vatican is trying once again to make it clearer than clear that there has been no -- read our lips -- no change in teaching on condoms.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued a note today saying Pope Benedict XVI's remarks on condoms use and AIDS do not signify a change in either the Church's moral teaching or its pastoral practice.
So what's the first headline I see on the clarification? "Vatican: condoms OK, but not as contraceptive."
Sigh.
