But no reason, however grave, may be put forward by anything intrinsically against nature may become conformable to nature and morally good. Since, therefore, the conjugal act is destined primarily by nature for the begetting of children, those who in exercising it deliberately frustrate its natural power and purpose, sin against nature, and commit a deed which is shameful and intrinsically vicious.

And the manner in which condom use converts sex into "a deed which is shameful and intrinsically vicious" has nothing to do with sperm either, eh, Tim? Your polite and literal earnestness is touching as ever, but the precise inspiration of this circa-1930 doctrine in the life of Christ is somewhat inscrutable.
