To the Church it's not an AIDS epidemic, it's an epidemic of sinful behavior. If you accept that as true, then yes, condoms make the epidemic worse. AIDS is a deterrent whereas condoms are an enabler.


Condoms are not only an enabler of sinful behavior, but sinful to use themselves. The Catholic Church condemns all forms of birth control as a violation of God's intended purpose for sex.

Oh please. Show me the evidence for this. Widespread condom distribution in Africa has seen HIV levels plummet while abstinence education in the US has clearly been demonstrated to be less effective than traditional sex education. And hey, while you're at it, try explaining to me why you believe your religious beliefs of 'sin' grounded entirely in the tenets of your faith and not in any impartial logical sense in morality should be imposed on anyone but yourself.
