There are some who argue that the use of a condom, either by married or unmarried people, for protection against disease (AIDS, for example) is the "lesser evil" than the contraction of AIDS. In the case of married people, even if the use of a condom were without contraceptive intent, or even if one partner were sterile and thus there would be no contraceptive effect, it is important to note that the intrinsic disorder (moral malice) of condomistic intercourse in marriage derives not only from a contraceptive intention but likewise from the fact that condomistic intercourse is simply not marital intercourse. The act itself is gravely disordered and merely a sinful simulation of a marital act. As such, even without any contraceptive intention, it is seriously and intrinsically wrong, and thus can not be justified for any purpose, however good or in any circumstances, however mitigating they might seem to be. The same would apply, of course, to any other prophylactic use of a condom; for example, to prevent the contagion of a venereal infection even within marriage. F. torraco
