Tony Blair says Catholic Condom Ban is putting lives at risk

[fix]

Mr. Blair is right. The Catholic condom ban is putting lives at risk. Why Catholics believe that condoms must be banned doesn’t make sense to me. The best solution to the AIDs problem is to promote use of condoms in my opinion.

No the Church is no putting anyone’s life at risk. Those who enage in immoral acts put their lives at risk.

A good end is never justified by an evil means.

One of the biggest complaints one hears from health-care workers in rural Africa is that have store rooms full of donated condoms but shortagesof rubber gloves and other basic Medical supplies. The primary focus of Western organizations working in Africa is to limit the number of black babies born.

Precisely. The “population control” movement is just WWII-era eugenics dressed in new semantic clothing. It’s class warfare and racism from the bottom to the top.

What’s more, even if using condoms during sex cured AIDS, their use would still be objectively disorderd.

No. The best solution to the AIDS problem is for everyone to adopt the Catholic Church’s teaching on sex outside of marriage, and then stick to it.

I agree with you. I have since changed my position and believe that Mr. Blair is wrong. The Catholic Church is right.

Mark its the same in Papua New Guinea. Stores full of condoms and contraceptive devices and pills and no basic hygenie utensils even for hospitals. No anaesthetics and even the most basic of medication. Condom promotion is not as a result of concern for the population but more precisiely to limit poorer population. Giving out condoms ensures that population remains in the dark about the dangers inherent in condom use and hence the spread wider of infectious diseases.

Holly its good to hear you changed your mind about Mr Blair and others who insist that condoms are the answer.
If I may humbly suggest that you might like to read Theology of the Body and Love and Responsibility (if you havent already) and then you can see for yourself why the teachings of the church are good and right and we should be aiming to teach these and not “condom culture”

Why do you think so, Grace Angel?
Holly is only saying what a lot of folks think.
What is YOUR vision of a perfect society?
Is there a way that you can persuade Holly without criticizing hers?

Karianne,
I dont have a vision of a perfect society. That is God’s domain. However, first of all I have answer Holly today in another post, and secondly just because a lot of other people think something doesnt automatically make it correct.
Giving out condoms and assuring the user that all will be safe because of this piece of latex is lying to them and helping the spread further of this and other sexually transmitted diseases.
At the most basic level you lie to that human person who may not not better and that person trusts that you/medical person knows better.
We will never contain HIV/AIDS virus until we can convince the population that chastity/fidelity actually work. And this will take many generations.
As an example, if beginning today, the whole of humanity would take on board chastity/fidelity (in their state in life), discarded, pills, vaccinations, condoms etc, we would still need two -three generations before humanity would be freed from this sourge.
Do I hope for a cure. I do hope, but I cannot see it in the forseeable future because the virus appears to mutate.
Do I see this as a result of the sexual revolution. ABSOLUTELY. Will it be contained without containing the sexual revolution. NO.
Sorry Karianne, you asked for my “vision” this is as best as I can do.
God Bless
Grace Angel.

The Church does not ban the use of condoms any more than she bans murder, abortion, shooting up cocaine, polygamy or wife beating. Mother Church advises for and against certain behaviors. Listen or ignore at your own risk. But pleeeease stop blaming the Church for people’s stupid and sinful behavior. Ever since it’s inception, the AIDS crisis has been about shifting the blame…Reagan, the Church, the USA but never the men who actually transmit the disease.
