tejek,

re:That's all well and good but to ignore the reality seems rather arrogant.



To assume the Church could call something a sin and then produce a guide to sinning safely is true hypocrisy.

Classically the Catholic debate regarding condom usage is one of birth control and their view is well known. Perhaps not well accepted.

If you construct an example of a married man contracting AIDS from say a transfusion (i.e. no fault of his own) can he in fact use condoms to protect his wife and family? Would in this case the Church be in support of his choice?

I don't know the answer, but if the Church was against condom use to protect life from a known threat in a non-sinful relationship - I would say they are ignorant, not arrogant.
