Not entirely correct. ( Apart from some bloody minded fanatics who are wrong)
The Church teaches that the use of condoms as a means of contraception is wrong.
The church also teaches that in matters of morality everyone must first and
foremost obey his or her conscience. If, as an example, a man has aids, his
concience will tell him that it is immoral to infect his wife. The use of a
condom then is not as a means of contraception but a means of disease
prevention.
