"There might be some applicability of the principle of double effect here: the woman uses the condom to save her life. That is the primary use. The fact that it also serves as a contraceptive is a secondary effect."



sinky, I agree with you on this issue. Life is the highest value. Spouses with AIDS should be allowed an exception.

I do not approve of condoms solely as contaceptives or for use by unmarried persons.

Homosexuals should use them at all times.

Wow, this is one of the most reasonable posts I've read in this thread.

I believe it recognizes the true heart of God when it comes to balanced priorities as to moral laws and God's intentions.

Well said!

Well, if you're read the wrath that's rained down on those who advocate as you do, you're a strong man.

I suspect many priests are giving your sage advice to their penitents, and God will not be harsh with them for doing so.

God does not condemn men and women to eternal death through no fault of their own.

But, you'll likely join me on the list of heretics here.
