The Vatican on Friday, April 17, 2009 says some negative reactions to the pope's comments about condoms and AIDS during a trip to Africa were an 'unprecedented'' attempt to intimidate him. Pope Benedict XVI said last month that condoms weren't the answer to Africa's AIDS epidemic and could make the problem worse.
