I learned something today that changed what I think the Catholic Church CAN be.

4. Another story. The RCC, including Sister Ancient, teaches that condoms are forbidden and in the US

members of that Church say 'Oh, that does not matter, we all use birth control anyway! It's fun that they say these crazy things'.
But what of other less affluent and educated places? Well, Uganda is 44% Catholic, focused on anti gay laws and has 7.2% of their population living with HIV, only 13% say they have ever used a condom because they are a sin. Over 60,000 Ugandans die of AIDS every year, this has produced about 650,000 orphans in Uganda. Recently Francis came to Congress to furrow his brow at people who want to be married. He said marriage is a 'threat to the family'. I think sick, dying and dead parents are a threat to families, I think any 'belief' that causes massive death is a threat to the family.

But the Church says no, best to let them 'go to heaven' rather than sin by using a condom. Aside from the anti gay bigotry and actions, how anyone can condone the spreading of fatal ignorance in Africa is beyond me. 'I am concerned with threats to the family'. Sure. Sure you are.
