"The solution can only be found in a double commitment: first, a humanization of sexuality, that is, a spiritual and human renewal that brings with it a new way of behaving with one another; and second, a true friendship, also and above all for those who suffer, the willingness -- even with sacrifice and self-denial -- to be with the suffering. And these are the factors that help and that lead to visible progress."

The Holy Father once again has given a brilliant analysis of the situation. People in the world may think this as absurd, but for Christians living the gospel teaching of Jesus Christ can never contradict this statement of the Pope. I wonder how the secular media will treat Jesus if they hear him speak about the indissolubility of marriage while spouses are still alive, the sinfulness of divorce, the evils of sexual promiscuity, and his teachings on purity. Perhaps they would crucify him a new. Pope Benedict XVI true to his calling is echoing the teachings of Christ as reflected in the gospel. I don't think that the Lord Jesus would prescribed the use of condom to stem the spread of sexually transmitted disease. I rather would think that Jesus would offer the same solution as offered by the Pope and by the Church. If Christians would practice the teachings of the Gospel on human sexuality, on virtue and chastity, I think everything will be fine.
Lets support our Holy Father and pray for his ministry.
The Role of the Roman Pontiff is summarized below and this shows us that what the Pope has consistently taught is simply a reechoing of the gospel and the affirmation of tradition. So let us support our Holy Father at this times when the faith is threatened by irreligious ideas.
"The Roman Pontiff - like all the faithful - is subject to the Word of God, to the Catholic faith, and is the guarantor of the Church's obedience; in this sense he is servus servorum Dei. He does not make arbitrary decisions, but is spokesman for the will of the Lord, who speaks to man in the Scriptures lived and interpreted by Tradition; in other words, the episkope of the primacy has limits set by divine law and by the Church's divine, inviolable constitution found in Revelation.33 The Successor of Peter is the rock which guarantees a rigorous fidelity to the Word of God against arbitrariness and conformism: hence the martyrological nature of his primacy."
