Questionable. 

True, I've met a Cardinal who was in favor of condoms in some situations. Wasn't JP2 also in favor of condoms in Africa? Could someone clarify this for me?

I think it was Pope Benedict, and it was only in a certain circumstance. Whatever permission he gave/theorized about giving definitely was NOT what some wanted/made it out to be.

I believe he mentioned it in the context of homosexual prostitutes, where obviously there would not be a contraceptive effect.

Nihil Obstat

Pope Benedict never said condom use was moral. He characterized it as potentially being a first step of moral awakening- coming to realize that our actions have consequences and affect others.
