I'm always puzzled by this argument. The Catholic Church doesn't teach that it is wrong to for unmarried people to use a condom while having sex, it teaches that t is wrong for unmarried people to have sex. The condom rule only applies to married people, there is no rule as to whether people who are already disregarding its teachings should be allowed to use condoms.
- cchooper 18y agoDo you have a cite for that? I couldn't find anything reliable clarifying the issue.
- astine 18y agoJust my old 'Sunday school' classes. It's just generally not debated for same reason we don't debate whether Hitler should have killed the Jews 'humanely.'
- cchooper 18y agoIt makes a difference though. If people interpret all condom use as being a sin, then there is a chance they will not use them in non-marital sex, so the policy (or possibly just the lack of clarity in the policy) may still lead to increased HIV infections.
