Since Christ gave us His Church to teach the truth infallibly on faith and morals, we know for certain that the use of condoms to prevent conception is gravely wrong.
The simple and loving way is to learn Natural Birth Regulation (NBR) usually called Natural Family Planning. We know also that this is moral for serious reasons, so anyone who insists on condomistic intercourse is:
If all efforts prove fruitless, the aggrieved spouse may take solace in the teaching of Pope Pius XI in the Encyclical Casti Connubii, 1930:
“59. Holy Church knows well that not infrequently one of the parties is sinned against rather than sinning, when for a grave cause he or she reluctantly allows the perversion of the right order. In such a case, there is no sin, provided that, mindful of the law of charity, he or she does not neglect to seek to dissuade and to deter the partner from sin. Nor are those considered as acting against nature who in the married state use their right in the proper manner although on account of natural reasons either of time or of certain defects, new life cannot be brought forth. For in matrimony as well as in the use of the matrimonial rights there are also secondary ends, such as mutual aid, the cultivating of mutual love, and the quieting of concupiscence which husband and wife are not forbidden to consider so long as they are subordinated to the primary end and so long as the intrinsic nature of the act is preserved.

- Unfaithful to Christ and His Church
- Unreasonable and unfaithful to their spouse
- Needs real help in understanding and the meaning of real love.
