If I understand correctly, the church is against condoms as a cure because sex should be between a husband and wife. If husbands were only having sex with their wives then the condoms would not be needed. This view is not a popular world view. In light of current events and education levels this is an unrealistic approach to the proplem.
As a Christian, the Pope is called to set himself apart from our world view and preach the message of Christ. I have not found the New Testament to promote out of marriage sex. If this is a correct understanding of the text then the Pope is on track with the Christian mission.
