If what you suggest were actual circumstances, then the spouse would be perfectly free to use commensurate force to repel the aggressor. This force would not be morally evil. The use of a condom is always morally evil.

So, if necessary, she could kill him before using a condom?

Commensurate force does not necessarily equal killing. You are being completely disingenuous and appear to be unable to engage in a thoughtful discussion on Christian morality where people can learn exactly what the Church teaches.

I have tried to be charitable, in spite of the admonitions of others. But they, apparently, are correct and you do seem to be incapable of discussing issues in a manner fitting and proper to your clerical state, let alone as a rational human being.

If one is about to expose you to death, are you not able, if you have no other option, to protect your life?

I'm trying to discuss what they Church teaches. You want to lecture me on what the Church teaches. I know what the Church teaches.

But they, apparently, are correct and you do seem to be incapable of discussing issues in a manner fitting and proper to your clerical state, let alone as a rational human being.

And you are, with all due respect, a bit sensitive, and apparently cannot engage in a give-and-take if it doesn't follow Robert's Rules of Order.

Good day.
