If the Church wants to protect life, why is it against distributing condoms in Africa?

The main problem with condoms is that they are connected with a trivialization of sex. Condoms and other contraceptives give a false sense of safety, and the idea that thus we are able to prevent the natural consequences of our sexual behaviour. Also, these means do not always succeed in preventing pregnancy or the spread of diseases.

This is not in keeping with the true nature of sex, which is a very intimate experience of the love between a man and a woman. If that love is experienced in a deeply human waycontraceptives are not needed. For all these reasons the Church does not consider the distribution of condoms a good thing. However, it does not reject anyone: all over the world patients suffering from AIDS or other diseases are lovingly cared for in Catholic hospitals.
