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?

I restate that one may never commit an intrinsically evil act. Do you agree?

What priests tell people is not the issue. Many priests today are hardly loyal to their faith. Pick up a paper.

Would Christ condemn these women to death?

I do not know that condoms bring or save life. I would ask you a question. Would Christ allow an airplane to fall out of the sky and kill all? Would Christ allow a baby to be born with no arms?

I'm not saying I'm against condoms if they're not used for birth control.

But you speak of death as if it's a bad thing that hasn't been defeated.

Excellent question.

Some of these people remind me of the Pharisees who implied Jesus deserved the death penalty for healing on the Sabbath and for allowing His disciples to pick corn on the Sabbath.

The answer Jesus gave was that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

The best example I can think to demonstrate this would be Paramedics (or spec.ambulance drivers).Just imagine them waiting at traffic lights and making their dying patients wait with them.

Why do you suppose they are allowed to disregard many traffic laws such speed limits?
Could it be because LAWS ARE MADE FOR PEOPLE and NOT the other way around?

Isn't it true that for Paramedic Teams to jeapordize the lives of those they are trying to help to observe such traffic laws would in fact be a gross and wicked distortion of the law?

The same goes for those who prefer to see people die than for anyone to use condoms.
I believe their concept of the law as well as the character of the God who gave it is sadly inverted.
