Why do catholics support aids?

Question

if contraception is a sin in catholic beliefs, it would seem that they support the spreading of STI's because it means that contraception isn't used,

what are your thoughts??

Answer 1

Judeo-Christian tradition has taught for thousands of years:
1. Single people should be celibate.
2. Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong).
3. Married couples should welcome God's gift of children and, therefore, artificial birth control is against the will of God.

If the world is going to ignore teachings about chastity (1 & 2), then why is the world so upset about teaching artificial birth control (3)?

People who are already ignoring the more important teachings about chastity (1 and 2) should have no problem ignoring the less important teaching of artificial birth control (3).

Even if a person infected with AIDS was to use a condom to help protect his or her spouse, condoms are not 100% effective (read the box) and the spouse may be infected and die anyway. A person who truly loves their spouse would not endanger them in this way.

In regards to sex outside of marriage, the Church makes it a practice not to tell people how to sin. Fornication with or without a condom is still fornication. Adultery with or without a condom is still adultery.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Whoever stated that the Church allows the use of a condom only for the prevention of aids doesn't know what they are talking about. The Church supports NO contraceptive devices in any form, for any reason. The Catholic Church does NOT support aids. The Church supports abstinence. The Church supports sex for the purpose that God intended it for. That purpose is to create new life. The Church understands that love of a married man and woman is shown in the cojugal act of sex. But if the man or woman refuses to give themselves fully to the other by using contraception and therefore limiting the God-given purpose of the act itself, than that in itself is inheritely evil. For example, when a man uses a condom with his wife with the sole purpose of hindering pregnacy, he then turns her into an instrument for his pleasure, just something that he can use. This is a major reason why so many marriages fail today. If married couples would realize that they need to give themselves fully to one another in the conjugal act, then their "sex life" will be dramatically better, therefore making the relationship better. The Church has no problem with the responsible spacing of births by using infertile periods, and if a couple is really open with each other and knows one another as they should, then this shouldn't be a problem. It is a matter of faith....plain and simple.

Answer 3

>>if contraception is a sin in catholic beliefs, it would seem that they support the spreading of STI's because it means that contraception isn't used<<

According to Catholic beliefs, sex is only to take place within marriage. That does not support the spread of STI's, but rather impedes it.

The Church has no teaching on the use of contraception outside of marriage, so if you didn't wear a condom, it is your own fault.

Answer 4

catholics in no way support aids or the spreading of stds. contraception is not permitted because it essentially prevents procreation. as procreation should only be permissable between a husband and wife the need for contraception would be gone. contraception leads to casual sex,sleeping around etc which is the cause of most if not all stds. if more people practiced natural planning methods with their spouse and not partner(s) stds wouldn't be as widespread as they are. the catholic teaching prevents these problems not supports or embraces them.

Answer 5

It is universally recognized as an indisputable truth that all mammals naturally interrupt the birth process depending upon their living conditions and ability to support a new young.

If mammals did not act to deliberately disrupt both the conception process as well as the birth process then many animal species would suffer the misery, pain and death associated with overcrowding, disease and potentially extinction in extreme times of famine and drought.

Therefore any policy that advocates abandonment of birth control and pro-choice by women is both insane and goes completely against all known laws of nature.

Nor can such an argument be legitimately claimed as "God's will" when all evidence of all life, including human life up until the last thousand years of Vatican moral domination is to the contrary.

So some other agenda must be a driving force for such evil policies?

The Almanac of Evil gives some clues. It lists 20 centuries of unbroken evil and crimes against humanity by the Popes and the Catholic Church
http://one-faith-of-god.org/final_testament/end_of_darkness/evil/evil_0200.htm

Even today, that evil continues in the churches approach to contraception and the spread of AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases.

Even today, there remain people quite prepared to excuse, explain away and justify such morally reprehensible policies.

The real reason the Vatican promotes policies that cause such pain, hardship and evil are often themselves too terrible to even comprehend.

Answer 6

Towelieban is way off base. The Church does not allow for condom use under any circumstance. No, the pope obviously cannot see if you obey this rule - but God can. If people would live morally righteous lives, there would be no such thing as AIDS or sexually transmitted diseases. So it must be that the anti-religion, anti-god, free sex liberals are the ones that support AIDS.

Answer 7

Michael,
To begin with, if they follow those beliefs then they will ONLY have sexual relations with their spouse so the contraceptive device is not needed. Think about it. How many are you "getting together with"? Have a nice week.
Thanks,

Answer 8

We all get what we deserve. We are also only required of as much as we recieve.

The spreading of STDs means sex outside of marriage, which the catholic church opposes.

Answer 9

The Vatican allows condom use for prevention of AIDS. They have, however traditionally opposed the use of them for birth control. This is direction of the church, it is not mandatory. If you feel you need to use a condom, I don't think the Pope has a magic POPE-O-SCOPE, that will catch you.

Answer 10

Please! Do not twist the subject! Catholics do not support AIDS!!!
