Catholic priests oppose birth control. Period. Next time I'd avoid questions that mention any religion like the plague. Well, I'm not here to be liked anyway, why the hell would I even name myself THE TROLL. I just hope that with the downrates, these people have become more worthy in the eyes of GOD.

In basic terms, you are not suppose to interfere with the natural course of procreation, but if for a medical condition there are exceptions. If you really want to know the guidelines talk to a priest or someone at your local diocese for the information. Don't listen to non-catholics on the issue, they will tell you all kinds of inaccurate things.

No, because then it's medicine rather than contraception.

My grandmother, wonderful Roman Catholic Irish woman that she was, would say that "your period is your curse to carry for bringing Original Sin into the world, and you have to deal with what the Good Lord gave you. The Holy Mother didn't need to regulate her cycle, and neither should you."

just as catholics are not opposed to an infertile man and woman having sex [even tho they cannot procreate] they are not agains tthe bc pill for that. when i was 16 i went on it for the same reason and then my theology teacher showed us some propoganda video about how the pill kills millions of women annually. tryingg to scare us into not using birth contro, probably why 6-9 girls at my school were pregnant ever year, and those are just the ones who wenbt ahead with the pregnancies.

Birth control is birth control and there are reasons why catholic oppose it: The Lord commanded Adam and Eve to "be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 1:28) indicating that he wanted them to give themselves to each other in order to allow him to bring about new life. God's command had to do with the reproductive aspect of sex, with the physical pleasure being a wonderful accompanying gift; to deny God his right to create new life out of a selfish desire for mere physical gratification is a serious sin. In fact, God slew Onan for committing this very sin (Genesis 38:6-10). Ananias and his wife Sapphira were struck down for committing the same type of sin, what St. Peter called lying to God (Acts 5:1-11); artificial birth control forces those who practice it to do just that. Before 1930, every Christian Church condemned artificial birth control as objectively evil. The Episcopalian Church was the first to relax sanctions against it, and since then every Protestant denomination has allowed it. The connection between the birth control pill, the sexual revolution, AIDS, and abortion is impossible to overlook. The pill in fact causes abortions in the event of an unwanted pregnancy by preventing the baby from attaching to its mother's womb and causing it to starve to death. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations" (Jeremiah 1:5). Before we were ever conceived in our mothers' wombs, we were conceived in the Eternal Mind of God. We were his children even before our physical existence began; how then could we deny him the right to see his very own children born? Other forms of artificial birth control that are not abortifacients are considered immoral because they deny God the right to bring about new life if He so desires. Marital intercourse is a very sacred act. God created sex so that married people could unite in the most intimate way while continuing the human species. To separate one of these motives from the other contradicts God's purpose in giving us the gift of sex. Natural methods of birth control are moral, but only encouraged in cases of grave necessity such as financial hardship, because they do not deny God the ability to bring about life if He so desires. True financial hardship does not include postponing children until we can get our big screen TV, stereo, and new cars paid off. There is an inherent difference of attitude in the couple who says "No" to God and the couple who says "We don't think it's a good idea right now, but we leave the decision to You." (Genesis 1:28, 38:6-10; Jeremiah 1:5)
