The polls (of which only 3 people participated) suggest that we are divided on the subject. Should the church teach the use of condoms to the unmarried young people? Some give the sharper, straight up NO while others refuse to object and yet, still more remain undecided. Those who object argue that if the church teaches the use of condoms, the church may consequently unwittingly encourage the youth to engage in pre-marital sexual acts. On the other hand, those who support the view disagree. For them, it doesn't matter whether or not the church teaches the use of condoms - the youth will engage in sexual practices irrespective if they are determined. And therefore, it's better and safer if the church just informs them on the right use of condoms to, at least, minimize their risks of being infected with HIV/AIDS. There is still a vast majority who remain uncertain as whether it is advisable or not for the church to teach her youth about the use of condoms.
