Vatican Pharmacy Says No To Viagra Tuesday October 13 10:36 AM EDT VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican pharmacy, one of the world's most well stocked, does not plan to sell Viagra. The anti-impotence drug goes on sale Wednesday in Italy, land of the Latin Lover. It arrives on the heels of a media fanfare equivalent to the arrival of the Beatles 35 years ago. But it will not be sold in the Vatican Pharmacy, which is just inside the walls of the 108-acre city state, and is open to the general public. ''We don't have Viagra and we don't plan to sell it,'' a pharmacy employee said Tuesday. The pharmacy, run by priests of a religious order dedicated to health care, is considered Rome's best because of its efficiency and because it stocks many medicines not available in Italy. Some Catholic Church theologians have said there is nothing morally wrong with Viagra if it is used by a married couple to help their sexual life. There are a number of married men living in the Vatican, most of them security police and Swiss Guard officers who live there with their families. If those married men need the new drug they will have to walk outside the walls of the city-state and buy it in Rome. dailynews.yahoo.com
