Kenya Bishops Promote Condom Use

Endorse condoms to prevent spread of HPV

The Conference of Catholic Bishops in Kenya (KCCB) has officially encouraged the use of condoms as a means of preventing the spread of the human papillomavirus (HPV).

A July 2019 letter from the KCCB's Catholic Health Commission of Kenya (CHCK) was primarily written as a formal endorsement of the controversial Gardasil vaccine, but on page 5 of the 7-page letter is a list of "Other Modes of Prevention that have been adopted."

Third on the list is a statement regarding condom use: "Use of latex condoms every time during pregnancy every time during sexual intercourse. But keep in mind that HPV is spread through skin-to-skin contact — not through exchange of bodily fluids. This means that while condoms may not always prevent the spread of HPV, they could reduce your risk."

The letter is signed by Bp. Joseph Mbatia, chairman of the KCCB's Catholic Health Commission of Kenya; Bp. Joseph Obanyi, vice-chairman of the CHCK, Drs. Bernhards Ogutu and Daniel Ochiel, both KCCB representatives to the Ministry of Health; and Jacinta Kathamu Mutegi, the executive secretary of CHCK.

The entire KCCB letter can be read by clicking here.

The condom endorsement in this letter is a radical departure from the KCCB's staunch opposition last year to the use of condoms for any reason.

And yet this apostasy of a letter has nothing to do with HIV and never even mentions it. Contraception is never the cure to sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. Chastity and monogamous marriage are (and they work every time they are tried!).

They’ve already demonstrated how this works. Someone drives up to the bishop’s residence with a truckload of money and condoms. And just like that...

Not what God wants.

God said, “Go forth and be fertile and multiply.” (paraphrasing)

You are right about monogamy and chastity-Uganda has proven that, but younger people don’t always care enough to protect themselves and others.
