The date of the Vatican’s strict No to contraceptives is from the year 1968. At that time, Pope Paul VI had. in his encyclical “Humanae Vitae” made it clear that pregnancy is from the perspective of the Catholic Church is a gift from God and not man by artificial contraception should regulate. Since that is taboo for Catholics Taufel contraceptives such as the holy water, the birth control pill or condoms. Officially, anyway.

The Spanish Eskopat 2005 has already been (once) said, the condom could be allowed to the faithful “in connection with the reliable prevention of AIDS.” It was withdrawn the next day of the papal authority.

It seems hardly possible that the Spanish Catholic hierarchy, orthodox and loyal to Rome, as otherwise no one could have ventured forth with such a position without a prior agreement with the Vatican. The church here has launched a trial balloon in this for they have become so complicated Spain – where a socialist government, with the broadest support gay marriages sanctioned religion displaced from the schools and start safe sex campaigns? And this in a question at the causes of the intransigence of the Church the most criticism, and in which it has removed the broadest of the current reality, only to then withdraw as soon as she saw caused what shock this announcement in its fossil layers has?
Despite the correction seems this little episode but a crack in the solid wall of intolerance to represent the Vatican. Through him, sooner or later collapse, this stubborn resistance, and the Vatican can hardly be other than to admit that the transparent, uncomfortable condom plays an important role in the lives of couples. It is not only free them from the risk of infection, but also from unwanted pregnancies. And here lies the crux of the problem. Because the church has the sexual act is no other meaning than to impregnate the woman and this valley of tears supply new souls, serving the Lord. It can not be any different. The survival of the species, the preservation of human life, just sheep, is what justifies the family and justifies the act of love.

The Vatican is now moving something …

A year after his election, Pope Benedict XVI. commissioned a study that will investigate the use of condoms in AIDS patients or HIV-infected individuals. It is considered highly likely that the results of the study, the official endorsement of condoms in these cases has resulted. This could be an important and crucial step in the fight against AIDS. State of the Church working on the appropriate document to be published soon, said the Vatican “health minister”, the Mexican Cardinal Javier Lozano Baragan in an interview with the Roman newspaper “La Repubblica”.

So far the Catholic Church had rejected the use of condoms for AIDS patients or HIV-infected strictly in marriage. Like his predecessor, Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI. previously condemned the increasing use of condoms in Africa. As he himself declared at a meeting of African bishops, there is unfortunately a “contraceptive mentality” on the continent.

If the Vatican allow the condom, he must admit something he has always denied: that the main drive of sexuality, from the cavemen to the complicated liaisons of modernity, the search for pleasure is not the generation of offspring. When people discovered that there are cause and effect in the game, they had been loved for centuries, and there is no human species, which produces an erection or an orgasm by thinking of the evangelical idea of ​​impregnation and procreation.

The refusal of the Church to recognize the standing, always in contrast to their understanding of the weaknesses of men and women (especially the former), when it came to power or wealth. She has suffered in its history, endless brutality of tyrants. Despite or perhaps because of the condemnation of sex and carnal desires, their history full of setbacks, so that is the Catholic Church, with its ceremonies, costumes, theater, princes, priests, pastors and mitres perhaps contributed most to the enrichment of the erotic imagination.

I am absolutely convinced that the condom and other methods will eventually find the approval of this ancient institution, and soon. Nobody has anything if it ends in mere senile stubbornness than an empty shell, without an audience. Religion is important for people to channel their fears of death and the afterlife. It slows the instincts that could be, they are free, we would be back to its most primitive forms of barbarism. Only a minority can live without religion and replace them with culture. For most mortals morality is acceptable only in the form of religion. But in order to continue as its beginnings in antiquity, as it represented an intellectual, cultural, scientific, political and moral progress against the cults, or in the Middle Ages when the church was the only institution to a community in fear, confusion and anarchy could give an order, they must face the realities of life. You may not believers of their demand the impossible.
