A difficult life will become even more difficult? Chastity is a virtue? Controverting the teachings of the Bride of Christ is ok as long as you have good reason? Suffering is unacceptable? Martyrdom is not an option? All morality is relative?
Since when has being a Christian been easy? I know that sounds horribly dispassionate, even spiteful but it shouldn’t. Abstinence from an act that would most likely be fatal is not a hardship, it may be a challenge, but it’s not on par with abstaining form food, drink or shelter.
The article states that the men will not abstain. That would condemn their wives to exposure to AIDS.
So, the wives should just endure martyrdom? Just like that?
