Banning condoms suggests to me that this has more to do with the falling birth rate than the lives of unborn fetuses.

@tk quick reminder that according to Christians any sex other than for the purposes of procreation is a sin, the Catholic Church only recently reluctantly allowed the use of condoms, and even that only because of STDs. Most likely because of the absolute STD shitshow they caused in Africa by preaching that condoms are evil.

@Amikke @tk
the fuck
First of all, Roman Catholic Church has never allowed condoms and probably never will, like with divorces.

Sex is not only for purposes of procreation, but sex that deliberately makes effort to be non-procreative is sinful

Also, condoms do not protect you agains many STDs that spread with skin-to-skin contact like herpes, genital warts and syphilis

@xue @tk oh yeah, they only decrease the risk by an order of magnitude or two, no biggie. Not even mentioning HIV, which was the main problem in aforementioned Africa, for which a condom is the go-to safeguard.

As for the CC allowing condoms, I’m pretty sure the official statement from the official Pope Francis must count for something, he got a whole lot of flak from conservatives for that a little while ago.

@Amikke @tk

lol, yeah, you have risk decreased in case of the rest diseases, not those mentioned above. that being said you can still get HIV even when using condoms

About the " official statement from the official Pope Francis" i dont know what you are referring to really. The things he said in 2k15? 2k16 2k17? what, where, when
still kinda doesnt matter tho, most of the pope's teachings are getting power when presented in encyclical
