How can we make the catholic church change their stance on prophylactics?

Question

We could reduce so many problems ranging from childhood mortality (because less would be born) to the spread of AIDS. How can we convince these people to change their position?

Answer 1

Rape their catholic girls. Bit extreme I admit, but thats one suggestion.
Not fair on the girls thats for sure, so I would prefer to educate the catholics rather than rape. Open ridicule of their primitive views can help also. Ridicule worked wonders on bringing the KKK down alot

The point of educating them is to help the 4 million africans that die each year from aids. The catholic church wants them to believe that condoms will encourage secual imorality. the catholics dont have any idea what they talking about as usual, and people are suffering because of it. And the church is the main source of information concerning these things. And to think its the year 2007.

Answer 2

If you are a Catholic, cite Canon Law 212, and respectfully request the Vatican to reconsider, including all your brilliant insights into the issue.

If you're not Catholic, take it up directly with God.

You might also consider the fact that until just a few years ago, ALL the major Christian faith traditions prohibited artificial methods of birth control.

Condoms don't prevent aids, because they fail more than 50% of the time, especially when used in 3rd world countries.

So far as childhood (infant) mortality goes, a baby born and baptized, even if it dies shortly thereafter, is infinitely better off than a baby who was never born at all.

U.N. POPULATION CHIEF LECTURES VATICAN

Thoraya Obaid, the head of the U.N. Population Fund, admonished the Vatican today to change its teachings on condoms. Speaking of the need for the Catholic Church to endorse condom use, she said, “We are hoping the new pope will take this message further, because it makes no sense sending people to their death.” She urged the Church to adopt a “morally correct decision” on how to stop HIV.

Catholic League president William Donohue spoke to this issue ...

“Is there anyone on the planet who doesn’t know about the alleged wonders of condoms? Yet, it is indisputably true that as condom use has increased, so have sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s). This is not to say that condom use causes STD’s, but it is to say that condom use has not prevented the explosion in STD’s. And this is because the same culture that prizes sexual license—in all its expressions—is morally incapable of sending a message of restraint.

“If Thoraya Obaid is truly concerned about HIV in Africa, she should get the U.N. to endorse the teachings of the Catholic Church on matters sexual. That is because the only real success story on that continent is Uganda, a nation that has tailored its anti-HIV strategy to the wisdom of Catholic sexual ethics. According to Edward C. Green, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, ‘basic behavioral changes in Uganda of 1987-95 have kept HIV prevalence declining up until now.’ The reason why the progress that has been made is now in jeopardy has more to do with dropping the emphasis on abstinence, he says, in exchange for a more condom-centered approach.

“Obaid is not only wrong on the issue, she is wrong on the cause of deaths due to AIDS. It is near impossible for anyone to die of AIDS (save for a blood transfusion) who follows the teachings of the Catholic Church on sexuality. It is not the Catholic Church that is causing Africans to die—or is responsible for a new strain of HIV among homosexuals in New York City—it is behavioral recklessness.”

Answer 4

that's a key paragraph in the Catechism of the Catholic Church whilst speaking of masturbation. "To type an equitable judgment touching directly to the matters' ethical duty and to lead pastoral action, one might desire to think touching directly to the affective immaturity, rigidity of won habit, situations of stress, or different psychological or social components that decrease or maybe extenuate ethical culpability" that's a lot much less severe if executed by using immature human beings or human beings under pressure because of the fact its a point between sexual adulthood and immaturity. some say its no longer even a sin.
