But the people who are complaining don't want to be in the club. They want to stop the spread of a fatal disease and are being hampered by a deluded old man in a silly hat and his gullible followers.
It is the fact that condoms do not provide a moral, nor fully effective solution to the spread of STD's that is the problem. Not the condom itself.
Is that right? I would have thought the reason the Catholic church is against condoms is because they believe it leads to promiscuity.
Isn't it funny how many folk on here are saying, yeah the best way not to catch any STDs is to not have sex, is that them trying to say something? He should just stay away from those hussies.
Yet they provide an incredibly effective barrier against the spread of disease at a low cost to impoverished peoples. I've never heard of morals curing AIDS yet. Give me a bell when they do though
possibly. It is why I mentioned a moral solution to a problem. Their position is that love should be shared within the sanctity of holy matrimony. It makes sense.
No the pope gets blamed for keeping with this outdated view on the use of condoms. You're a moron if you think them telling people to wrap up wouldn't make a difference. I take it you obide by these rules.
Semantics. Obviously condoms don't cure AIDS but they can help stop spread it. I'll give you a plane ticket and a bible; you can go to Africa to help stop AIDS with your morality.
I would say it's more likely than possible. And that being the case should the CC not admit that the policy is wrong and change its stance?
