Best Comment on the Condoments

and media reaction I've seen:
...The media (and some conservatives have bought into this) has always made it sound like the Pope is telling young Africans "Have all the sex with anyone you want, just DON'T use a condom." . Instead, he simply has refused to compromise with human souls; he bypasses condom distribution as a distraction, and calls us to work for the true human flourishing that only an ordered sexuality can give.

I think this is what the Media finds so infuriating. Not even to be given even the dignity of jeremiads and righteous indignation, but to be calmly told that their pet salvation is simply an irrelevant distraction to soothe the consciences of the short-sighted...
