It is a falsehood to attempt to attribute to Pope Benedict, or any other Pope the statement that ‘Condoms are the lesser of two evils’.

It is part of the Church’s moral teaching that the use of prophylactics in sexual intercourse is always evil whether contraception or disease prevention is the primary motive.

The Church does not make up its own rules in moral issues. It teaches what has been received. Sex is about fertility, in fidelity. God has given man a very powerful incentive …to procreate. If people started obeying the laws of God, AIDS would disappear.
