Catholic Church is against the use of condoms. Is it really the will of God ?

Answer 1

I wonder how many thousands of people are dying of AIDS in underdeveloped countries because Catholic and other missionaries are preaching against condom use.

The evils of Christianity are astounding.

Answer 2

I can not for the life of me understand why it is that pulling out early, and so putting a barrier of skin and flesh between the sperm and the egg is acceptable. But putting a barrier of latex there is not.

If it really is God's will if the girl becomes pregnant or not then condoms are not 100% eeffective. Is it too much for omnipotent God to slip a few extra holes in there if that is His Will?


Meanwhile, did you hear about the Jewish drummer? His rhythm was so good he was made an honorary Catholic.

Answer 3

OMG CJ! You just converted me! It is obvious that the Holy Spirit is working through your hate!

Here's the truth:
Lev.18:22-23;20:13 - wasting seed with non-generative sexual acts warrants death. Many Protestant churches, which have all strayed from the Catholic Church, reject this fundamental truth (few Protestants and Catholics realize that contraception was condemned by all of Christianity - and other religions - until the Anglican church permitted it in certain cases at the Lambeth conference in 1930. This opened the floodgates of error).

Answer 4

I think so. NO Christian religion condoned any form of birth control, from condoms to the Pill to abortion, until midway through the twentieth century. The Catholic church is the only one that stood by its teachings on that issue (no offense to people of other faiths; I'm not saying you're horrible people to use contraception just because you've been taught differently.)

Answer 5

If you believe the Pope and Cardinals dictate Catholic Dogma, and Domatic Law states that what the Church states as law is the law of God, then yes.

If you have the ability to think for yourself and are able to develop you own personal relationship with God, you would know better.

This is what all organized religions do, they give you rules that they come up with and use God's name to invoke fear in people to enforce it.

Technically having unrprotected sex is like playing russian roulette. There is a good chance you are going to contract something that is going to shorten your life span considerably. Wouldn't that be almost like commiting suicide?

Answer 6

It is a papal decree. Catholics believe that the Pope is infallible and talks directly to God. So if the Pope says it is wrong, Catholics are expected to believe that it came directly from God. So in a sense, to them, it is indeed the will of God.

I would think that most non-Catholics disagree...but they believe they are just as right as any other religion or even sect of Christianity does....so the question is kind of moot.

Answer 7

No, it's the will of absurdity. You christians aren't allowed to enjoy sex. You think it's dirty or evil. Supposedly it's only for reproduction. With that mentality, having sex while eliminating the probability of pregnancy is not allowed since at that point it's only for pleasure instead of for reproduction. What a bleak life. G-d gave the penis a head full of nerves so sex would be pleasurable. G-d gave made a clitoris so sex would be pleasurable. You christians have distorted so much. Sex in Judaism is not cast in such a negative dirty way. Sex reinforces the bonds of marriage. Sex is a joyous wonderful thing, in purpose not limited to reproduction, but to include the expression of love.

Answer 8

Yes, if you ever get a chance read "the Good News About Sex and Marriage," by Christopher West. Artificial Contraception takes the "I do" out of marriage and leaves no room for the spousal love of children. If a married couple has a good reason to prevent a child they must use "periodic continence," which still lets God into their act of mutual giving. Instead of trying to leave God out of our relationships in marriage, we should always invite him. God Bless You!

Here is what the Catechism says:
2370 Periodic continence, that is, the methods of birth regulation based on self-observation and the use of infertile periods, is in conformity with the objective criteria of morality. These methods respect the bodies of the spouses, encourage tenderness between them, and favor the education of an authentic freedom. In contrast, "every action which, whether in anticipation of the conjugal act, or in its accomplishment, or in the development of its natural consequences, proposes, whether as an end or as a means, to render procreation impossible" is intrinsically evil:

Thus the innate language that expresses the total reciprocal self-giving of husband and wife is overlaid, through contraception, by an objectively contradictory language, namely, that of not giving oneself totally to the other. This leads not only to a positive refusal to be open to life but also to a falsification of the inner truth of conjugal love, which is called upon to give itself in personal totality. . . . The difference, both anthropological and moral, between contraception and recourse to the rhythm of the cycle . . . involves in the final analysis two irreconcilable concepts of the human person and of human sexuality.

Answer 9

That just shows the hypocrisy of 'christians' vs. catholics. Christians will use condoms but the bible specifically states that sex is meant for procreation only!!

I hope all you christians out there are only having sex when you're breeding. To do otherwise would, of course be,.... a sin.

Answer 10

Not according to many many other Christians out there. In fact, I've asked Christians what they think about this "issue" and only the Catholics had a problem with condom use.

Answer 11

If the idea is that the rhythm method is OK because it allows for gods will. Then are we saying that god is so limited that he cannot make any other method of birth control fail if that is his will? Seems a rather limited view of Divine power.
