You tell me how this works coz i am confused? The Catholci Church tells people not to have sex outside marriage and only to have one partner. So people who do not listen to this message are they likely to listen to it when it says dont use a condom? Seriously, is that what you think?

It takes two people to have sexual intercourse but only one of them needs to have ignored the church’s teaching against sleeping around. The other may follow the church’s teaching on not sleeping around and not using a condom and still catch AIDS. It is then possible for that second person to pass AIDS to other people. What if a good AIDS-free, condom-free Catholic become a widow/widower and, not knowing they’ve got AIDS, marries another good Catholic? Without a condom the third Catholic gets AIDS. That’s just one possibilty off the top of my head

The first paragraph represnts my attempts to discuss whu condoms dont make a difference to AIDS. The second is a reposte from an atheist. How can i respond?
 
All sex outside of sacrimental marriage is a serious sin. So, promoting condom use for sex outside of sacrimental marriage is, in a way, promoting sex outside of sacrimental marriage. That makes it wrong. AIDs is a moot point. The relavent point is whether one sins. It is far more important to avoid hell than to avoid AID’s, although avoiding one in this case seems like it would help to avoid the other.

All sex within a sacrimental marriage must be open to the possibility of life. Condoms prevent this, and therefore, are seriously sinful, as is all artificial birth control.
