The Secretary-General of the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, Rev. Fr.
Ralph Madu, made this clarification in a response to an enquiry by Punch
on Sunday.
“The Catholic Church believes that modern means,
including the use of condoms is morally bad because it impedes normal
procreation. You can meet with your wife when you do not want children
and those periods when the woman is not fertile instead of having to
destroy the sperm and all other forms of artificial prevention.
“They are very artificial means and they do not really give the moral lesson that borders around the use of the sexual organs.
“The
one that gives you the opportunity to exercise your sexual urge without
the consequences is the natural method and the church says you should
go for the natural means.”
According to him, the excuse that it
reduces the spread of HIV/AIDS remains invalid and untenable, adding
HIV/AIDS is a disease that is prevalent among young people.
Madu
added, “When you are talking about condom among young people, you are
also talking about promiscuity. People have adduced arguments in case of
people with HIV/AIDS and especially couples who do not want children.
The use of condom and other modern means are being bastardised among
young young people because they will resort to the use of condom so that
they can have sex freely without impregnating the woman or getting
pregnant.
“Those are various artificial means and the church is
strongly against them. Instead, the church endorsed the natural method
of copulation.”
