More on condoms and HIV
Thomas at American Papist has been doing yeoman's work in covering the condom debate. With the swirl of patently false stories making their way around it is good to see a good roundup on this subject.
Via Domenico Bettinelli I found this new blog by James Stroud called Contemplation of Moral Theology which is an excellent addition to St. Blogs. In a current post HIV and Condoms or the Lesser Evil Defense James discussing the lesser evil defense and specifically addresses the issue of a married couple with HIV which has garnered much commenting on one of my previous posts.
Posted by Jeff Miller at April 25, 2006 12:41 PM | TrackBackHow many people have sex and use condoms because they feel that condoms are safe?? How many of those people ONLY have sex because they feel it is safe? How many of those people would NOT have sex were condoms not available/their true unsafe nature known? How many people who WOULDNT be having sex, but are because of the false safety net are getting diseases or pregnant because of the false safety provided?? How would that compare to the number of people getting diseases/pregnant if we only had our superstitious and prudish old fashioned moral culture to protect us?? Y'know, maybe the old fashioned moral culture's the better deal.

Posted by BillyHW email at April 25, 2006 6:51 PMHow many non-infected people have sex with someone they KNOW to be infected with AIDs?
I mean if you knew the other person had it would you just go.
" Oh don't worry I'll just use a condom!"
"I'll put my life on line for a one night stand!"
"How many non-infected people have sex with someone they KNOW to be infected with AIDs?"
No, this is how its supposed to go:
"Hi, I'm Sally. Want to have sex?
"Well, I'm Mark. I would, but I have AIDS and I don't have a condom."
"Oh, Mark, I don't mind the risk. I don't mind if you don't use a condom!"
"Well, *I* mind, Sally. I'm a CATHOLIC!"
