Cardinal López Trujillo: Martini's words "nothing more than his own personal opinions"

The Church cannot change. The Church cannot declare it is morally possible to do an intrinsically evil act to achieve a personal or social good. The enemies attack the Church, from the outside and from within, but she stands firm.

From Alejandro Bermúdez's Catholic News Agency (ACIPrensa):

Church ‘will not budge one inch’ on issue of condom use, says Cardinal Lopez Trujillo

In an exclusive interview with Colombia’s Radio Cadena Nacional (RCN), Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, president of the Pontifical Council for the Family, said ... that the Vatican “maintains unmodified the teaching on condoms” and said the recent statements by Italian Cardinal Maria Martini “are nothing more than his own personal opinions which do not reflect [Church] teaching.”

Cardinal Lopez Trujillo said Pope Benedict XVI has not ordered any studies about modifying the prohibition on condom use. “As a dicastery we do not have any instruction or any indication to the contrary, to carry out a study about something new with regards to condoms,” he stated.

...

The Church believes the only way to truly combat AIDS, Cardinal Lopez Trujillo said, is through fidelity and chastity, which are the only morally acceptable means. Contraception, the Church teaches, damages the integrity of the full gift of self, which is intrinsic to the sexual act.
