VATICAN CITY, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Pope Benedict XVI, in a book to be published by the Vatican, tells an interviewer condom use is acceptable to prevent the spread of disease.
"Light of the World: The Pope, the Church and the Signs of the Times," is to be released Tuesday, the BBC reported. Excerpts from the pope's interviews with German writer Peter Seewald have appeared in L'Osservatore Romano, the semiofficial Vatican newspaper that often serves as a vehicle for high-ranking church officials.
