No, it is much closer to saying "If you can't meet the strict standard of celibacy outside of marriage historically required by the Catholic church, at least use a condom. It is a lesser sin."
(From what I gather, the church historically kind of looked the other way on condom use of young men seeing ladies of the evening as a practical matter. It was not "approved," but it was vastly better than spreading disease and multiplying the number of illegitimate children in the world.)
