Revised Vatican Policy due to Condoms?

Currently, the Vatican says the best way to fight HIV/AIDS is through abstinence. However, this highly criticized stance could change. After Pope Benedict XVI asked the Vatican's council for health care to study the issue, there have been signs that the document could be a major revision of Vatican policy. Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini was quoted saying that the use of condoms was "a lesser evil". Although the Vatican has not yet made an official comment or projected a date for the revised policy, Cardinal Barragan told a newspaper reporter that, "Soon the Vatican will issue a document about the use of condoms by persons who have grave diseases, starting with Aids."

Did he just say condoms?
