Question about Catholics and Birth Control?

Question

I'm catholic and I'm not asking to be judged or criticized for my question. I'm on birth control to regulate my period- if i don't take my BC i won't ovulate and therefore won't get my period and if I do get my period there is no rhyme or reason to my cycle it comes and goes without warning (all you ladies can appreciate how annoying and difficult that is) . Is taking my birth control still committing a sin?

Answer 1

No. If the contraceptive effect is an unavoidable side effect of a drug taken for a legitimate medical reason, there is no moral issue.

Answer 2

First and foremost, there is always a ryhme and reason for the season. Some woman have lower body fat, genetic predispositions to cysts, fibroids, etc., and some woman cycle whenever a friend or family member does. Some woman workout hard and therefore lose some of the regularity they would have, also stressful environment tells a womans body it cannot support life so her body acts accordingly.

All these DIRECTLY affect your subconscious and your physical body. To put your body on an even keel you might have many many diffucult months of trials and error (maybe a few years) to discover which syptom (your genetics, or the enviroment, or lifestyle) or combination of syptoms create this internal chaos. Then comes the very troublesome problem of removing the symtom or dealing with it daily depending on the "how,when,where"

If birth control, or rather a birth regulational hormone is introduced and you have ovulation, or regularity, then why do you think it is or could be construed as a sin? I mean, after all, you are personally aware of god's expectations of you, if you're sure this helps you be the best person you can be then why ask? tea to be a laxitive is o.k., medicine to help a woman concieve is o.k., medicine to bring life into the world is o.k., medicine to safegaurd your body and keep yourself healthy is o.k. but you worry over a tiny hormone "vitamin"? I mean really. Now, if you're doing it for "playtime" thats where the church takes umbridge.

Answer 3

Protestants have been telling the international what Catholics have faith on condition that 1529. merely so which you comprehend, the Protestant 10 commandments are diverse from The Catholics unique, older ten commandments (be happy to actuality verify me.) regrettably, the Holy Roman Catholic Church is Judged greater normally in line with pupils of the present day feminist stream of the western international and scholars of history the two beginner and professional with a antagonistic awl to grind. In answer on your question No, organic delivery administration isn't Morally incorrect. The church homes Stance has greater to do with the discouraging of deviant, sinful life and the upkeep of human life and reverence for the excellent thing approximately Gods area our duty. For some reason, human beings think of it extremely is approximately controlling women. Lol! The quote is a family members to 'shall we bypass to conflict and enable god variety 'em out.' Or 'shall we bypass thieve and if God helps the stuff to nevertheless be in my wallet as quickly as I bypass away the keep, then it would desire to be ok.' -Loving, happy Catholic.

Answer 4

Using artificial hormones to protect and support your health is allowable, as long as you are working with a physician and have determined that this is the best course of action and as long as your primary motivation is not preventing conception.

It's only using birth control specifically so you can have sex that would normally result in pregnancy without the pregnancy that is disallowed.

I do want to encourage you to look for other treatments, however. Unfortunately, medical science doesn't usually care all that much about women's health issues. Putting you on the pill was your doctor's easy way out. It's not going to cure you, it's just going to help you survive. If you really want to be cured, you need a different type of treatment. Doctors who specialize in NAPRO Technology have really helped women just like you with the same sort of issue. Don't you want to be cured? Please look into it, for the sake of your own health.

Answer 5

As long as your aren't taking birth control as a way to prevent pregnancy. If being unable to become pregnant is a side affect then there is nothing sinful about that.

Answer 6

I am not a Catholic, but I believe birth control is wrong, because it does not stop you from getting pregnant, you still get pregnant but the birth control stops the fetus from attaching it’s self to the mothers uterus and therefore the fetus is removed in the next menstrual cycle.

Edit: I don't know why everyone is giving me thumbs when it is a scientific fact that birth control stops the egg from attaching it’s self to the uterus. Here is a website where you can read it for yourself http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/sexual_health/contraception/contraception_birth.html


Also another thing to consider that could be causing your problem to begin with. Do you drink or eat out of Styrofoam cups or plates, like Styrofoam cups from fast food restaurants? Science studies have shown that this could cause hormone related problems like irregular periods as well as breast cancer and prostate cancer in men. Here is a link to that http://www.grinningplanet.com/2005/11-01/styrofoam-cups-article.htm

Answer 7

I believe the Catholic stance on this is "It's only sin if you are using it to prevent the creation of a child for the sake of indulging in physical pleasure"

Answer 8

If you aren't having sex, how could it be?

Frankly I think ANY church who is obviously obsessed with your genitals and sex life is PERVERTED.

It is very clear that some people have NO clue how hormonal birth control actually works. They should stop reading lying church propaganda and learn the facts instead.

It's also very obvious that some people have never read the entire Bible, which COMMANDS that pregnant women be ripped open AND gives instructions on how priests should perform abortions on unwanted pregnancies. God CLEARLY has no respect for pregnancy or fetuses, or humans of any other age.

Answer 9

The Catholic Church prohibits contraception (except condoms for AIDS couples) because it wants to have as many babies a possible.

Answer 10

You're fine. The reason you're taking the pill is not to prevent conception but for a legitimate health reason. But do tell your GYN that if an alternative therapy becomes available that would also work for you, you'd want to know about it.

Earl D, give me a break.
