Church's teaching on sexual morality can not change

CONDOMS & CHURCH TEACHINGS:

I am wondering if the Pope was saying that it is better to choose the lesser of two evils than to choose one or both. Namely, it would be better for a male prostitute to wear a condom than to cause the death of one of his victims by not wearing one, since the sin of wearing a condom is a lesser evil than for manslaughter of one of the prostitute’s victims. Also, to cause the death of a victim to die in mortal sin from AIDS is a greater evil than wearing a condom, namely it would give the victims time for redemption.

Although wearing a condom is a grave sin, nonetheless, intentionally to transmit a deadly virus that could cause the death of another viz. manslaughter, the killing of a human being without malice aforethought, is a greater evil than prostitution or wearing a condom.

Further, even more so, it seems it is even more greater an evil to be a cause of the victim to die in his sin. Namely, it is a greater sin to destroy the soul than to only destroy the body and not the soul.

Under that interpretation, the Pope would not be condoning the use of condoms or prostitution, but only mitigating the seriousness of the deadly sin of reckless manslaughter. Consequently, the Pope only would be condoning the lesser of two evil, both damning to those who participate in such deadly ignominy.

Yes indeed RCC cannot change. Each change is an admission of the fallibility of an infallible institute. We all know how fallible every religion is. No religion is below any threshold of fallibility. However there is fierce competition on how far from the threshold they can go in the direction of fallibility. In fact I don't care for them to change. Because I am not guided by the bronze age ideas of morality and ethics, which are absolutely vile and grotesque. Soon they will be irrelevant even for those few who care and then it will die like Mithraism.

Church's teaching on sexual morality can not change including their belief priests have the right to help themselves to teenage boy's bodies:

SAN ANTONIO -- A Roman Catholic priest has been arrested on charges that he solicited a hit man to kill a teenager who had accused him of sexual abuse. Authorities said John Fiala first offered the job to a neighbor, who blew the whistle and helped police arrange a sting. They said Fiala got as far as negotiating a $5,000 price for the slaying before investigators moved in.
The 52-year-old clergyman was arrested Nov. 18 at his suburban Dallas home and jailed on $700,000 bond. In April, he was named in a lawsuit filed by the boy's family, who accused Fiala of molesting the youth, including twice forcing him to have sex at gunpoint.
The abuse allegedly took place in 2007 and 2008, when Fiala was a priest at the Sacred Heart of Mary Parish in the West Texas community of Rocksprings, a rural enclave known for sheep and goat herding.
The family's lawsuit also named the Archdiocese of San Antonio and Archbishop Jose Gomez, alleging that church leadership should have known Fiala was abusive.

I wonder if Fiala used condoms.

"The teaching of the Church on sexual morality cannot change because it was prescribed by Jesus, who is God, and He entrusted it to the Church."

Clearly you have never read what the Bible claims Jesus said.

By the way, there's no evidence that Jesus said anything attributed to Him in the Bible. There's no evidence He is God.

Any teaching can change. It's silly to say it cannot. I agree that it has not, no matter how desperately foolish the current teachings about sexual morality are, but it is certainly capable of changing.

It is clear to everyone who has a reasonable understanding of the history of morality and ethics that morality has always been changing over time. To claim otherwise shows an ignorance that cannot be comprehended.

The teaching of the Church on sexual morality cannot change because it was prescribed by Jesus, who is God, and He entrusted it to the Church.

I have looked through every red word in my Bible, and nowhere do I see where Jesus expressed the opinion that priests have the right to help themselves to the bodies of little boys and then be protected by Christ's "HOLY" church.

I have looked through every red word in my Bible, and nowhere do I see where Jesus expressed the opinion that condoms or any other form of contraception were icky. In fact, I can't find where he mentions the subject of contraception at all.

The teaching of the Church on sexual morality cannot change because it was prescribed by Jesus, who is God, and He entrusted it to the Church. The Church has no authority to change God's teaching on sexual morality, only to pass it along for all the generations.

"But it has not changed and it will not change because it cannot be changed. And it cannot change or be changed because the Catholic ethic of sexual love is an expression of fundamental moral truths that can be known by reason and are illuminated by revelation."

It cannot change because a bunch of supposedly celibate men won't change. But here in the Real World change is good. It's a fact of life, and this is why people are leaving the Church in droves, or at least making judgements about their own lives and stopping to take so seriously what the Church says cannot be changed.

Personally, I changed so I left the Church.

The Catholic Church may be very logical, but that logic certainly is not based on reason that is rooted in reality and human nature. It makes impressive logical gymnastics to get around an obvious truth: That people will continue to have sex whether or not they are married, with the same sex or the opposite sex, or whether or not they are priests. When it comes to things that will not change, I am betting on human nature than anything the Church says. So given that, doesn't it sound reasonable to stop the problem of the spread of AIDS and unwanted pregnancies and all the resulting human suffering at the source with condoms? Makes sense to me.

The Catholic Church is nuts!

"But it has not changed and it will not change because it cannot be changed."

Because Jesus never changed anything from the Old Testament. Because the Church has never, ever changed from its days as a tiny cult in Pagan Rome, or its days of killing heretics and Jews. Because Jesus would never, ever have accepted that the poor and sick would need help, and that it is more important to help them than to keep some special rule.

Why do you keep this rule when so many, many others have changed? The Pope has only been infallible since the 1870s! Purgatory and Limbo were invented out of whole cloth in the Middle Ages! Eternal Grace in heaven used to be for sale! The church changes all the time, and its time to realize this is one of those times it should.

"But it has not changed and it will not change because it cannot be changed."
