No time to teach abstinence or faithful conjugal love?

A senior Vatican official has supported the use of condoms to fight Africa's Aids pandemic, contradicting the Catholic church's official position.

Cardinal Georges Cottier, theologian of the pontifical household, told the Italian news agency Apcom that the use of condoms was "legitimate" to save lives in the poorest parts of Africa and Asia, where there was no time to teach abstinence or faithful conjugal love.

He is the most senior figure so far to argue that condoms should be admissible in exceptional circumstances.

Is this "Doing evil so that good may result"?
