Remember that this was a reversal of his previous comment, which was that "condoms make the Aids crisis worse". He's a staunch advocator of abstinence and fidelity through marriage, which is to be expected, but to walk back even some of his statement is a big step for the Church, at least in my opinion.

Seriously, I would prefer that he didnt change his stance at all so more people can realize how mess up the whole system is and left it. Now that he slightly change his stance, who wanna bet sometimes in the future, the church will totally okay with abortion and stuff to please the mass? Then the religion continue live on. I dont know if my last two sentences make sense (having trouble to express my thought there).
