The biggest news of the weekend was the headline-perfect story that Pope Benedict XVI was endorsing condoms after the Vatican’s decades old stance against them. The problem? That’s not actually true. (via TIME)

The news came from an in-depth six hour interview that will be published by Ignatius Press, in which the Pope discussed the sexual abuse scandal and various positions the Church takes on controversial matters.
