ZURICH, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Vatican Radio has withdrawn an

invitation to the head of Novartis to act as an external

commentator after it discovered the Swiss drugmaker made

contraceptives, the broadcaster said.

" The approach of the Vatican to artificial contraception

cannot be subject to the smallest doubt, " Vatican Radio said on

its website.

The broadcaster had asked Novartis Chief Executive

Vasella to be its " Commentator of the Week " in February, but

said it had now decided to fill the slot internally.

" We ask Mr Vasella and our listeners to understand this

decision. We have only just learnt from the press that Novartis

also produces contraceptives, " Vatican Radio said.

Novartis, which declined to comment, produces contraceptives

at its generic drugs units.

The broadcaster said its commentator of the week did not

necessarily have to express the Vatican's viewpoint. (Reporting by Sam Cage;
