christianity as a whole should be against contraception, the catholic church is the only one that i can think of that has maintained its position about contraception, and not wavered to win popularity or favor over something that is wrong. catholic missionaries or any christian missionaries should not condemn anyone or any nation the joys of the gospel and other needs that are met through the work of the missionaries. god bless.

+ African Catholics +
The 270 million Catholics of African descent represent about 25% of the one billion Roman Catholics throughout the world in more than 59 countries. Most of these Black Catholics are in Africa.
Black Catholic statistics: http://www.nbccongress.org/black-catholics/worldwide-count-black-catholics-01.asp and http://www.usccb.org/saac/AfricanAmericanCatholicsintheUS.pdf
+ Contraception +
The Catholic Church is not against natural forms of contraception.
Judeo-Christian tradition has taught for thousands of years:
1. Single people should be celibate.
2. Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong).
3. Married couples should welcome God's gift of children and, therefore, artificial birth control is against the will of God.
Here is the United States Conference of Catholic Bishop's website on Natural Family Planning: http://www.usccb.org/prolife/issues/nfp/

Just add them to the list of people/groups that the Catholic Church condemns on a daily basis.

Catholics are also opposed to sex outside of marriage. It is pointless to have sex out of marriage, but follow the Church's rules on contraceptives.

of course not. Catholics are Christian and believe in educating people on the Bible, acceptance of all people in the Name of Jesus, and non-judgement. Think of Mother Teresa. She represented Catholicism well.

Sara, you are not doing your name proud. I would think the original one would be turning over in her grave if she knew you were hounding the Catholics like you do. That is just pure hate mongering. Why do this? Catholics are pro abstinence. People do not have to have sex like rabbits.

The Catholic position on this is criminally stupid. Nobody with the brains of a gnat pays any attention to the Church's views on sexuality.

Forget missionaries! They push their beliefs on people who have no beliefs. It's sick.
