¿Es la iglesia católica provida o promuerte?

Permitir el uso del condón o el acceso al aborto legal y salubre... ¿apoya que se salven o ser pierdan más vidas? La evidencia empírica abrumadoramente apoya la primera opción, pero la iglesia católica sigue defendiendo modelos teológicos a pesar de la realidad, y es que claro, la realidad debe amoldarse a sus modelos ¿no es así?. Andrew Sullivan elabora:

"It is encouraging to see the extreme abstraction of theoconservatism beginning to collide with the reality we all live in. The Pope has commissioned a study to see whether, in a serodiscordant marriage, condoms are morally a lesser evil than infecting your spouse with a serious virus. Yes, they actually need a study to figure that one out. Nick Kristof (TimesDelete) also makes the very important point that in secular, liberal, post-Communist Germany, the abortion rate is a fraction of America's. Hmmm. That couldn't have anything to do with much better contraception availability, counseling and over-the-counter availability of the morning after pill, could it? The great tragedy of the extremism of the current pro-life forces is that they have become de facto pro-death. They allow for the early deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in the developing world by opposing condoms in a health emergency; and they add to the number of abortions in America by making emergency contraception hard to find. In their theological abstraction, the logic is perfect and circular. On the ground, they are abetting death. They need to get a better grip on their own good intentions and see how their extremism has led them astray."
