I am a 26 year old confirmed Catholic. My family never really went to church, but I was sent to Catholic school for a few years. I had and maybe still have an issue with some of the church's policies and treament I and my family have received over the years. For instance, my Mom couldn't find a Priest to baptise me until I was 3 because I was born out of wedlock. (Why should I be punished for that?) My grandmother couldn't get an anullment from an abusive husband, while others around her "bought" a church divorce. I wanted to be an alter girl, but I was told girls are not allowed. I could go on, but I won't. So, I haven't been to church or confession since I was 12. I have had a change of heart. I want to attend church and be absolved.
However, I take birth control pills purely for medical reasons only. I have a condition and this is the only course of trament available that can prevent me from lots of pain, many minor symptoms and permanment damage. Is this a sin?
