Pope says condoms are sort of alright

The church's stance on contraception is perfectly fine when coupled with their stance on sex outside of marriage.

One has to wonder why people are forgoing condoms at the request of the church, yet aren't forgoing sex.  Is that the church's fault?

Edit:

Ah, it seems this has already been adressed.  You say "people should have the right to have sex, whether it be recreational or for procreation", but this is something the church obviously disagrees with, and as an extension of this, the obviously would not allow contraception.

If anything, you should be attacking their stance on sex in general, not their stance on contraception in particular.

They're against contraception used by married couples also. A lot of people in Africa get AIDS from their spouse.

Plus, their stance would force  married couples to only have sex when they want to concieve a child (as people can't afford to pop up a kid every year, and probably don't want to either). The Catholic Church wants to intrude too much in people's personal lives (along with all other Christian denominations).
