So...
You are asking me to accept that there are no practising Catholic men in Africa who have contracted and passed on HIV as a result of being told that using condoms is a sin?

Sorry but I don't believe that.

I asked you to accept no such thing
I asked you to accept that those people are in the smallest of minorities. The risk of catching AIDS if you are married to one person and don't cheat (we're pre-supposing this hypothetical person is not infected from birth) is much lower, with or without condoms.

Ok... but does this mean in your opinion that a practising Catholic who is an adulterer is not a real Catholic?

Nope
They're a Catholic still. They are however a hypocrite to the deepest bones. And these people know it. They have forfeited the excuse to use their religion as an objection to anything

The problem with Catholicism
And all other religions, is that they've failed to apply modern wisdom in their teaching.
