Yes, and yes. This is one point where I so strongly disagree with Church doctrine that I cannot see any sane reason to obey it. I feel that overpopulation is a serious global danger, and yes, my contribution to it would matter. I also come from a family that has been, for centuries, extremely abusive and violent, and the cycle stops here. No matter how good my intentions, the very thought that I could ever become like my father (or grandfather, or great-grandfather, and so on) is enough to make me never want to have children. I can't take the risk of ever hurting another human being in that way. Also, there is a long history of suicide and alcoholism in my family, as well as a history of diabetes and heart disease. I have many reasons for not reproducing, including the fact that I feel uncomfortable around small children, but I do not intend to be relegated to a lifetime of celibacy, either. In the extremely unlikely event that I ever wanted children, I'd adopt one who's already here and needs a home.

I'm Catholic ... the "Sacrament of Reconciliation" helps those who are "Cafeteria Catholics." and choose to follow their ways over the wisdom of the Church.
I've been more of the "Prodigal Daughter" types ... I took a long time off of practicing Catholicism, so I didn't use my sexuality as God planned. I did figure out in school that Oral Birth Control will cause me to have a stroke, so I'm not afflicted like most of my other fellow Catholics in temptations of B.C..
When I took "History of the salvation of the Catholic Church" i did find the prophesies of Pope Paul VI (check it out if u got time). WOW ... it makes so much sense to me now ... but I still have struggles carrying my own cross of temptations within sexuality ... ah, it's not BC though ... and for these, my Priest hears privately in confession.

Protestants have been telling the worldwide what Catholics believe considering 1529. in basic terms so which you recognize, the Protestant 10 commandments are diverse from The Catholics unique, older ten commandments (be at liberty to certainty verify me.) regrettably, the Holy Roman Catholic Church is Judged extra regularly in keeping with scholars of the modern feminist circulation of the western worldwide and scholars of historic previous the two beginner and expert with a detrimental awl to grind. In answer on your question No, organic beginning administration isn't Morally incorrect. The church homes Stance has extra to do with the discouraging of deviant, sinful existence and the upkeep of human existence and reverence for the astonishing thing approximately Gods area our duty. For some reason, people think of that's approximately controlling females. Lol! The quote is a family individuals individuals to 'shall we pass to conflict and permit god sort 'em out.' Or 'shall we pass scouse borrow and if God facilitates the stuff to nonetheless be in my wallet once I depart the shop, then it may desire to be ok.' -Loving, chuffed Catholic.

Yes, I am Catholic. Yes, I use birth control, but I do not use contraception (there is a difference). Some methods of birth control are accepted by the Church.

Catholic and No, I dont use birth control.
I think that most catholics that choose birth control simply have not bothered to understand WHY the church teaches what she does. It is BECAUSE the Church values women that she says no to Birth Control......and I can only touch on that, the teaching is so rich and wonderful....

My mother's Catholic and I pretty much disagree with all of the Pope's views. Though I do appreciate the bread and wine, traditional Mass, the Lord's Prayer, saints, angels, Mary and the architecture of certain cathedrals. Though the Hagia Sophia is up there as well. The Ottomans could give the Romans a run for their money when it comes to architecture.

I saw a Catholic the other day say that birth control is evil but the "pull-out method" is okay.
I guess he never heard of Onan.

i am catholic and i am on the birth control. God doesn't judge, and for whatever reason what you do in life always has a cause.
Many catholics use condoms, which is seen as a sin.
If you want to take it, then take it.

i think birth control is better than abortion!
better to prevent life than to destroy it
if people just used protection if they didnt want kids, then we could avoid a heck of a lot of unwanted pregnancies, most of which end up being aborted...
its the 21st century, not the medieval times!! kids are expensive. every child that is brought into the world has to be fed, clothed, looked after, given a good eductaion, needs entertainment, maybe go to iuniversity, an needs TONNES of love and affection. is child is a HUGE amount of responsibilty.
how many times to we see those poor clueless teenage mums out their struggling to make a life for themselves and trying to bring up a child single handedly. they dont need that stress and responsibilty, they are still young and should be enjoying life..
it makes me sad... :-(
i strongly believe in sex INSIDE of marriage. not just becase the church 'says so' but becuase if you thinkabout it, its an excellent idea! marrigae is COMMITMENT. both partners are alot less likely to walk away and will be there for each other to help raise the child. (in most cases)
if you have sex outside marriage, then the girl falls pregnant and the guy doesnt want the responsibilty, he can easily just walk away and leave her by herself.
when two people are married, they make decisions together. they decide whether or not they want children.
many teens suffer from the 'it wont happen to me' syndrome. well sorry folks, but you arent immune to STD's and pregnancy.
if you must, use protection PLEASE!!
dont learn the hard way...
God bless
