Condoms Vs the Pope

Why does Catholics against condoms? It’s a question that bothered me a lot that gives me a reason to think and study to get some clear views and understanding. As what I learn based in my reading and based in people’s views the reason why pope against condoms because it contradict the teaching of the church and it also perverting the law of marriage with both men and woman should practice the natural way of sex.

Catholic is against of Fornication and adultery and believes that sex is only for those who are marriage and not for those who only practise sex for pleasure, everyone who practice sex outside marriage is fornication and everyone who is marriage and have sex with anyone is adultery. When all favour in condoms they believe that we also allows young people or anybody commit fornication.

Catholics believe that God created us with purpose to multiply and those who in favour in contraceptives is perverting the purpose of God. Catholics is full of tradition has taught for thousands of years:
1. Single people should be celibate.
2. Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong).
3. Married couples should welcome God's gift of children and, therefore, artificial birth control is against the will of God.
In regards to sex outside of marriage, the Church makes it a practice not to tell people how to sin. With or without a condom:
• Fornication is still fornication
• Adultery is still adultery
• Rape is still rape

With all of that Tradition I also ask myself why many of Catholics don’t practice it, all though some of them are really devoted to their believes, I know many of them who even works in the church practice sex outside marriages and even some priest committed fornication having sex with their same sex in secret, If Pope want to ban condoms because it is sin and it is perverting the natural way of sex which only married people perform then Pope should also punish those homosexual priest and church workers that’s rapes innocent boys.

Pope should also fired those priest who make someone pregnant because it against their law, they abort the babies and that is horrible crime and must punish according to the law. If we based in Gods Purpose which most of the time they teach in wedding ceremony that we must all multiply and be many; Pope already violating the law of God.

You cannot control your own nature as sinners, and you cannot make people guilty and make them follow what you teach if you also violating something. What we can do is to give some advice and try to look for solutions to the problems. We only rresponsible to ourselves and no one can tell you what you do and what you don’t do.

AIDS is a world epidemic, a public-health problem that must be confronted with scientific advances and methods that have proven effective, Rejecting condom use is to oppose the fight for life. We must need to protect humanity with the deadly aids and people even pope need to take heed. When we opposed to condom we also try to destroy our future.

In the Philippines Aids is growing and the danger is free sex is very rampant here, Many young people practise sex without protection. Based in experience it is very easy to find sexual partner in the internet and most of them is younger than 18 years old. Internet prostitution is also popular; some young boys get easy and instant money from the foreigners who they found in some dating websites.

Many people is too far from reality, “why” because we still focus in tradition without knowing that earth evolve and that everything change faster than we can’t imagine. Although sex is not a taboo anymore but still many are confused about using protection or don’t think first before making an act. I still remember the Jokes which I always heard “eating candy with wrapper is unpleasant and nasty than eating without wrapper”,

Now I don’t Understand why Catholic try to ban condoms, if they want to ban condom then they should be prepared in worse things to come like problems such as over population, aids, poverty and job shortages and Philippines is not ready to face another huge problems that affects not just us but also our children in the next generation, and you know who to blame? Those leaders who being control by religion and those leaders, who don’t practice their power in the right way,

I am not against in Catholics I am just worries of what will happened when people ban something that might help to control population and the spreading of sexual diseases and create problems in the future.

For me it sounds like Catholics wants to be involving more in politics things. The more they get involve, the more power they get and when they have so much power the more they have the change to control people, just like in past time. I was born Catholic my parents are catholic there are many laws you have to consider but when I search the Bible much more; now I see the error they teach.

Condoms is not a way to give reason for the young people to be involve more in sex because even with or without condoms many people is sexually active and we like it or not nobody can control people ways or gratifying them self. Especially when most of the times media show programs that catch people sexual desire specially kids and teenagers who became more curios in sex. I just wonder why some people against in condom but they are not against with TV programs that show girls wearing almost nothing.

I came from a big family and it is not good lots of responsibilities and pressure because my family expecting something for me. Now when Contraceptive is ban; how many family will suffer and how fast will be our population grows and where will people get a job when only few job offers. How many kids can’t able to go to school because of financial crises? As what I learn people became sexual active in times of crises because that is one of their coping mechanisms to release their emotion to once out of the reality.

I don’t care what people thing but for me I am not against of condom and I wish that people open their mind to see reality not just leaning on tradition that breaks our right to protect our self. And right to choose what we want and not being dictated. Condom is just a funny simple thing but it’s a powerful tool to protect our love one. Condom has nothing to do with fornication and adultery because even before people already practice fornication and adultery in secret and many people die already for not protecting them self.

I wish that our government will stand alone not being controlled, do more for people protecting our country in HIV AIDS and Educate people about family planning and teach young people about sex and how to be protected and help them understand without making them more curious rather educate them to be more responsible human being.

Unlucky but Being Blessed

I don’t understand why opportunity comes mysteriously without knowing that you already found it. Every opportunity came with the test and trials that sometimes it is hard to figure out it may be a disaster or a problem that gives so many answers for a complicated situation.

I been almost 2 years here in Legazpi in July 30^th I’ll be one year, I am blessed to be here and meet friends and specially to experience how it is to live with the Bicolano’s and blessed to have a guardians like daddy frank who act as my parent, but I am unlucky to have situations like you have to wait almost century and wait for many tomorrows.

Have you been waiting for so long and all you do is hoping and wishing? Yes I do experience all of that, I work in chateau Noveau and I think I just get paid half of I am suppose to have, Since Chateau is closed I am just hanging and depending on my dad for food and medicines that I usually take it every day but sometimes I skip it specially when I save something for things I want, I sometimes ask my dad for medicines but sometimes I can’t control myself to be ashamed of always asking something specially he also needed money for the car. But this situation help me to be like ants to save money; my dad gave me 500 a day for lunch and dinner I usually spend 380 or most of the time 450 but depending on the menu I will cook but every week I save not more than 200 but I spend it for my personal need like shampoo and soap so I will not ask my dad for it. I am young and need something for myself i dont even have perfume but i am blessed that i still have good food to eat and able to go somewhere for free and because of this situation i learn to be patient, to be smart and to be idialistic

I get so scared in situation like this sometimes I ask myself what if he will get sick and he will be gone what well happened to me? He is the only Person I can lean on too. He is like my father and that’s why I am afraid to lose him. Do you know? I don’t have nothing really there are only 2 people help me in this time Berny who is there for me inspired me to stay and beloved and dad who support me and love me. I am blessed to have them both even I am unlucky to have this hard risky situation.
