In fact I do find the whole thing confusing, even inconsistent (imagine that!!). We cannot receive the grace of god without admitting our sins, which presumably means we have to commit sin else there's nothing to admit to. So it's a rigged game, there is no choice but to damage our fabric, and God (and his representatives of course!!) are the only path to salvation. Jeez, does this thread end in a discount sale of indulgences by any chance? Oh and in case anyone is in any doubt how bad use of a condom is, it's one of the mortal ones! It's like the enlightenment never happened, forgive me (pardon the pun) if I think that 'casting a living light' is achieved by battling the spread of ignorance and superstition based upon medieval values, through the use of reason; not granted by a venal, paedophilic, abusive and power hungry organisation that has poisoned society for far too long. But as we can see they just can't stop themselves can they.
