Can catholics use condoms

Answer 1

In a word: no.

Unnatural Birth Control, such as condoms, are forbidden in the Catholic faith. This is because Catholics believe that God created sex with the purpose of producing children; since birth control isolates the pleasure of sex from its purpose, birth control is both wrong and self-centered.

Catholics are, however, allowed to space their children if they can not support any more at the time, but only through 2 natural methods: abstaining from sex, or using NFP (Natural Family Planning). When using NFP, the woman monitors her menstrual period to see when she ovulates, and can thereby choose whether or not to engage in sex. Pamphlets and guides to NFP can often be found in Catholic book stores or online.
