3) Therefore, the teaching of the RCC to not use condoms will increase the probability of AIDS transmission for those who accept these teachings but would have used condoms otherwise.

That is what I am thinking.

So, you are asserting that someone accepts one teaching of the church and doesn't use condoms, but then doesn't accept another one about having pre/extra marital sex? I guess that makes sense to you.

And this isnt obvious in your life experience? That people accept some rules and disregard others? You've never heard of Catholic teenagers with unwanted pregnancies?

I sincerely hope your position isn't that it is an illogical leap to think that these people might take to heart some but not all of the Church's teachings, or furthermore that even if they did, entire nations of people would find it possible to remain abstinent. I would guess there is no precedent for that in all of human history.
