Britain's Cardinal Murphy O'Connor states the obvious:
"The way to combat Aids is primarily, as everybody should know, behaviourally - keeping monogamous relationships between a man and a woman."
But what about "special circumstances?"
Okay, let's say I contract HIV through a blood transfusion. Should my husband (I'm a widow...we're just playing "let's say" here) use condom for sexual relations with me?
No.
My husband I and should abstain from sex. Period.
This is a no-brainer. It's also not impossible. Ask Saint Joseph and Mary.
(And yes, I know about the Holy Father's commissioned report. I don't know why he commissioned it, but I know he did.)
Here's the thing. Realism is realizing that this world isn't permanent.
Eternity, on the other hand, lasts a real long time.
So let's get real.
