Can you still be called Catholic if you say 'yes' to any of these?

I believe in those things, and yes I am still Catholic. I'm not suppose to do any of these things, but I'm not perfect and God knows I'm not perfect either. But, I'm still a good moral and ethical person. I still believe I will go to Heaven.
In every religion, people do and say things that they are not suppose to. At least I'm acknowledging what I'm doing and not being a hypocrite

YOU can say that you are Catholic but you are not truely living in line with the teachings of the church. I do know A LOT of Catholics that use birth control even though it is a HUGE NO NO in the churchs eyes.
I myself am Catholic and I say no to all of them. The pill, condoms etc.
It comes down to respect for life

Yes. Catholics are sinners just like anyone else. Committing one of these sins, though a very serious matter, does not automatically excommunicate you from the Church.

I know lots of catholic girls on the pill...they're sluttier than anyone! If any group would benefit from increased condom usage, it would be the catholic girls. Even though they protect themselves from preg with the Pill, with how much they screw bareback, they're bound to end up with a nice STD.

If any Catholic out there does agree with any of these, why would they want to be Catholic?
You can't pick and choose if you are Catholic----you have to take it all or leave it all!

You can be on the pill for health reasons not surrounding sexual activity.
The others, probably not. And still be true to your religion.

Given that Catholicism is more of a centuries old political status than a religion... yeah, sure you could!
