Vatikanen förtiger teologiska sanningen i egen rapport – för att ej riskera bli missförstådd – som entydigt säger att det moraliskt är bättre att använda kondom än att inte använda kondom vid Aids.
”Det är ovärdigt ett läroämbete som förkunnar att sanningen ska göra oss fria” skriver Austen Ivereigh i veckans America Magazine.
“The Vatican has admitted shelving a theological report into the morality of the use of condoms to prevent Aids, reports The Tablet’s Rome correspondent, Robert Mickens.
The study was undertaken in 2006 by the Pontifical Council for Health Care, and submitted to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) by the Council’s then head, the Mexican cardinal Javier Lozano Barragán. The cardinal said on that occasion that his 200-page dossier contained a spectrum of views on the question of whether it was legitimate to use condoms to protect someone from catching Aids. But on 5 February, writes Mickens, ”the pontifical council’s long-time secretary or no. 2 official, Bishop José Luis Redrado, said the detailed study had never ’got off the ground’.”
”What Bishop Redrado meant but couldn’t say is that the CDF rejected the idea of there being any public change to official church opposition to the use of condoms to prevent Aids.”
“By choosing not to say anything — and by burying the report — the Church remains vulnerable to the accusation that its teaching on this point is inhumane and irrational. But even worse is the deliberate supression of theological truth for fear of being misunderstood. It is mundane. It is cowardly. It is not worthy of a teaching authority which proclaims that the truth sets us free.”
