The immediate priority, of course, would be to get women out of a rape danger zone.

That can mean "anywhere where there are men."

For instance a diaphragm and spermicide.

Can you cite me a Church document giving this permission to use diaphragms and spermicides?

1. I think this assertion is ove-the-top. I don't have such a low opinion of men, and crime ststistics do not bear out your idea that most men are a significant rape risk.

2. No one needs "permission" from the Church the State or anyone else to use protective body armor. The same applies to a barrier in the vagina. A barrier is not a sin. Choosing contraceptive sex is a sin.

I know you would like to see a more definitive statement. I'm just on my way to Mass and I have my mother-in-law's funeral in the afternoon, so I might not be able to get to it for you. You might try googling Congo 1960 rape Catholic nuns diaphragm

If you find anything interest4ing, pleas post us a link because I'd like to read it, too.
