I’m realatively new to Catholicism, so I might be thinking incorrectly, but does this seem right?

The whole story sounds fishy. First, look who they have endorsing this “change”:I’m realatively new to Catholicism, so I might be thinking incorrectly, but does this seem right?

It appears that Father Juan Antonio Martínez Camino was attempting to explain that it was nice that an international program accepted the Church´s stance with respect to Abstinence. However, by mentioning the Lancet ABC program, the press miscontrued that to mean the Church was supporting the use of condoms. In other words, they ignored the parts “A” and “B” of the program, and misconstued the Father´s words that he was approving of the “C” part of the program.
Well at least not much has changed.if condoms were allowed and I were pope, I would set up an inquisition.

In this case complete Abstinence would be the prudent path. Contraception/condoms would NOT be morally licit. As others have pointed out, the Spanish bishop was misquoted.At first when i found out about this I was going nuts. But now that I have thought about it…I understand their position. What are married couples supposed to do if on of them has aids?isnt it wrong to instinctly infect someone with a disease I’m trust trying to understand a little bit as to what this guy is thinking! someone with some insight please help!

The press is always trying to find ways to twist and discredit the Catholic Church. Ignore them. Any time you hear or read where the Catholic Church has changed a teaching, you can just change the channel because it is NOT possible to change the Deposit of Faith. This is not the same as changing a discipline (like abstinence from meat on Friday) because disciplines are not a part of the Deposit of Faith. It’s up to the Catholic faithful to be educated and know the difference.
The teaching is, as it always has been and always will be, that contraception for any reason is intrinsically evil-- meaning there cannot be a reason to use it even if the desire is a good end, contraception is always a bad means.
