The issue of using condom as a means of preventing the spread of hiv/Aids has finally given a boost by the Pope after decades of deliberation on it. The church stand against it is that legalizing d usage wl gv rise to immorality and thus more spread of d virus bt regards abstinence as the best method of preventing immorality and d spread of hiv and stds.
I am happy wt ths change and we all knws that many catholics world over are breaking the rule and so made it insignificant.

The moral angle of it concerning contraception is biblical in the old testament,i cnt remember d quotation bt i knw there's a place that God condemns d spill of semen especially mastubation whch condoms do d same.
So,if d church condemns that, hw then cn a married man control conception since he has to choose btween withdrawal method and use of condom if d wife doesn't like pills.
The world is changing and i think some certain doctrine of d church shuld always amended.

Come on! read ur source again and stop propagatiing what is not the case. How could u be so attracted by a caption given by those who really want kill the dog and decide to give it a bad name first? The Pope never APROVED THE USE OF CONDOMS. The Catholic Church CANNOT equivocating as you expect. Whatch it before you land yourself in a deep shit

Why exactly does the RCC oppose condoms?

Good question! What, if you wouldnt mind, is the primary goal of sex? Pleasure? Or procreation? I tell you, it is not to be used as a pleasure tool without the readiness to accepting the divine consequenses. Take it or leave it, condom (of course contraceptions) lays aside the later. That is one of the reasons for its prohibition even in marriage.

if he didn't then wat point was he trying to make by accepting the use of it, so condom usage shuld nw be a thing of d mind since u classified it as a sin frm ur own point of view,then who are elligible to make use of it in d RCC.?

sex is for both pleasure and procreation and condom is playing an important part in both,for prevention of STD'S and unwanted pregnancy.
