Maybe I missed it, Brian--but I did not see in either the Vatican's article on the topic, nor in your explication, the specific case of a married couple, as is being discussed above.

I did not see in either the Vatican's article on the topic, nor in your explication, the specific case of a married couple, as is being discussed above.

I tried to cover that in my other thread:

condoms have a one in five failure rate in preventing HIV transmission. If she has marital relations with him on any regular basis, with or without a condom, she is going to get HIV.

To counsel ANY marital relations, WITH OR WITHOUT condom use, is condemning the woman to certain exposure.

The Church can ONLY tell them to abstain. The Church cannot and will not tell them to have sex but use a condom, ever.
