I await a reply form the vatican. I doubt they will agree with the dissenters. I have heard for years that the vatican will allow x or y and so go and do it now.
These issues did not just arise. If there is some problem with tribes in Africa and married men imposing their will on their wives than the authorities need to step in and change that culture.
Condoms are not the answer.
If there is some problem with tribes in Africa and married men imposing their will on their wives than the authorities need to step in and change that culture. Change a culture? You're asking women to risk death while they wait for authorities, dominated by men, to change a culture?
You offer a hobson's choice. I reject that logic. Condoms are hardly the answer to these issues
Apparently, you have no answer to this "hobson's choice." It's a reality, john, and it is highly likely that priests on the ground are telling these women to use condoms in order to save their lives!
Would Christ condemn these women to death?
