Vatican Says No Change to Teaching Against Condom Use

By Gudrun Schultz

VATICAN CITY, May 5, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, president of the Pontifical Council for the Family, said the Catholic Church would not change its position on the use of condoms ...

A vocal supporter of the Church’s teaching on contraception, Cardinal Trujillo said the recent statements by retired Italian Cardinal Maria Martini “are nothing more than his own personal opinions which do not reflect [Church] teaching.” He said Cardinal Martini “should explain how the condom prevents AIDS if it is true he said it is a lesser evil.”

Cardinal Trujillo said the Church believes the only way to truly combat AIDS is through fidelity and chastity, which are the only morally acceptable means. Contraception damages the integrity of the full gift of self, which is intrinsic to the sexual act.

Ha ha ha!:rofl Retards. There go a few hundred thousand more African Catholics! Stupid, stupid, stupid. And all on the whims of a few crusty old white guys and a token black cardinal, maybe this thread will have some life in Conspiracy Theories.

Seriously, you ain't gonna grow a faith group if you're losing more people than your converting. I knew it was too much to think the RCC might see sense.

The Vatican Says yes to spreading AIDs

Condom worship by the international aids industry has sentenced millions of africans to an early death, EXCEPT in Uganda, where the government, not hypnotized by the aids elite, emphasizes abstinence and monogamy.

Calm down I was being sarcastic. And who's the AIDs elite? Are they just another imaginary group to put blame on? No matter how hard to try to spread abstinence not everyone is going to stop having sex, therefore you have to spread both abstinence and condoms no matter how contradictory that is. Sorry, but most people even in America don't wait to have sex until marriage.
