In this picture made available by the Vatican newspaper Osservatore Romano Pope Benedict XVI, flanked by German journalist Peter Seewald, left, and by Monsignor Rino Fisichella holds a copy of the book "Light of the World'' during a private audience at the Vatican, Tuesday, Nov. 23, 2010. The Vatican broadened the scope of the pope's comments about condom use being a lesser evil than transmitting HIV by saying the concept also applies to women. The Pontiff said in the book that condom use by people such as male prostitutes was a lesser evil since it indicated they were taking a step toward a more moral and responsible sexuality by aiming to protect their partner from infection.
