They absolutely oppose the use of any type of contraception because the Catholic Church believes that sex with condoms or any type of contraceptive is unnatural sex or artificial contraception because it does not serve the purpose of sex which is to procreate. &#8220;Natural sex&#8221; is sex between a man and a woman who love each other and have made an eternal commitment to love each other, and allow any children to come from the act of love since God sent them. Due to condoms or any other form of birth control not allowing conception, then it is repelled by the church as having sex for only pleasure, not for the intended purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Condoms for the purpose of preventing HIV\/AIDS is not an exception. It still prevents conception and it encourages the act of unnatural sex. The best way to prevent any sexually transmitted diseases is to be abstinent and wait till marriage in order to engage in sexual activity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/time-to-admit-it-the-church-has-always-been-right-on-birth-control-2012-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-80 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/tacticalhyp\/files\/2012\/11\/protest-pope-condom-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/tacticalhyp\/files\/2012\/11\/protest-pope-condom-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/tacticalhyp\/files\/2012\/11\/protest-pope-condom.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;The use of condoms goes against human dignity.
