Yes. Humane Vitae was not issued infallibly, which means it is not a requirement of faith. Being a fallible teaching a Catholic has the right, even the duty, to dissent from the teaching according to their conscience.

Husker Nation, that is a shock, particularly that he would say take her to a "healer". Even believing in a "healer" is against the Church, let alone using one.

itsa secret Vatican II had nothing to with birth control. In fact it was the ONE real disappointment of the council that they did not address it. Paul VI chose instead a Papal Birth Control commission outside the council to study the issue and they overwhelming (all but 2) to allow the use of contraception. Paul VI did not change the teaching and flat out ok it, but he did not make it infallible so it could be dissented from.

Fan TMGB, I do not know where you got this is the Catholic view on sex it is completely incorrect (we gave up Augustines view). The Vatican specifically states sex is used for the bonding and love experience between husband and wife and should be pleasurable and a way to experience the divine. In fact the most recent encyclical Deus Caritias Est is almost half on the divine love found within the sexual union and the sexual act. And that procreation does not take precedence over this bonding, but they are equal missions in marriage and sex. The Church in the Catechism states that there are many good reasons people need to wait, space their children apart, or not have them. And the bond between man and wife in marriage is not to suffer or be sacrificed in order to have children. The previous Pope gave sexuality talks as sex is beautiful, pleasurable, and is one of the greatest gifts from God. Our sexuality is an intergral part of who we are and what make us uniquely special. We should treasure it, enjoy it and act responsibly with it because sex and sexuality is precious and powerful (one of the most powerful forces on earth)

Catholics cannot exercise their 'free will' on contraception.

Prior to the 20th century conraception was generally condemned by all the major branches of Christianity, but some branches over the years have relaxed their opposition.

Artificial methods of contraception are still considered a grave sin by the Roman Catholic Church, the only method allowed is the 'Safe period' or the 'Rhythm method'.

The use of condoms to prevent pregnancy is a sin, but their use as a method of preventing AIDS and other Sexually Transmitted Diseases, may be permitted and is still under discussion.

To read the history and current views on Christianity and contraception, read on.

Sure, but that does not mean everything going to be okey dokey. Free will is a choice. You can make a choice to do what you want and make yourself temporarily think everything is so good.

Or you can make the choice which would keep you close to God and be happy for eternity.

You can bet I not messing around with eternity. I have never taken a contraceptive. My husband and I work together on everything including this particular subject. We have had one planned pregnancy.

peace out,

Pam

No. Contraceptives are considered abortifacients by the catholic church. To 'spill the seed' is considered a form of abortion. Sex is meant to be between a husband and wife, according to the bible, and only for procreation. Even though free will is god-given, you can still use it to sin. This is just another aspect where the church may need to update it's doctrine. Such as pre-marital sex. This was a good idea back when the bible was written, and girls got married when THEY WERE 12!!!

I dont think free will is something Catholics are given as some sort of loop-hole-get-into-heaven-anyway card. Free will is the ability to do what you want outside of God's divine plan. So if you (he/she/they) want to to use contraceptives go ahead, its probably a good idea. Plus didn't the Pope finally a-okay condoms?

Many Catholics use contraceptives. Don't be fooled, in many South American countries where the majority is Catholic there are pharmacies that have condoms in it. They are bought by people. Every Christian Church used to have a ban on contraceptives until 1930 when they reversed their position except the Catholic church. I hope that that they too can reverse their position on this.

Yes, but it's still considered sinful. First, because sex should only be practiced for reproduction and not simply for pleasure. A contraceptive implies you are only having sex for pleasure and eliminating the chance of reproduction. Also, the Pope has deemed it sacreligious to use contraception. It is not allowed in the Catholic doctrine.

Contraception is a touchy subject. I had a Priest scold my wife for using it as a regulatory measure after cancer surgery. Of course I lost what respect I had left for him when he suggested I should have taken her to a healer instead of a surgeon.
The rhythm method is OK as far as the Catholic church is concerned, however I have yet to see the Catholic church pay any of the costs associated with having a child.

Free will is not an exercise...free will is a condition...something that you have that makes you human. You as the recipient of the gift of free will may use it any way that you choose...that's what make it free will.

Back to your question....can Catholics (exercise) their free will? Of course they can...they use their free will all the time....just like non-Catholics and atheist.
