catholic & birth control?

Question

my cycle is off and i kno a lot of people on birth control for that reason.
but i'm Catholic and as a Catholic it's wrong to use birth control because you shouldn't be having sex anyway unless trying to concevie.
but my question is would it be wrong to get birth control to regulate things and not for the use of not geting pregnant.
or is it wrong?

Answer 1

Actually, the Catholic religion only has an issue with birth control as a means of stopping procreation, which they see as sacrilegious, since they feel sex should only be had to procreate. Sadly, a very outdated ideal. But to take it to regulate a period falls into an entirely different category. In fact, doctors who are against birth control will still prescribe it for health and regulation reasons. So, even as a Catholic, you are okay to take it to even out and help reduce menstrual cramps. Hopes this helps.

Answer 2

Protestants have been telling the international what Catholics have faith when you consider that 1529. in order that which you already know, the Protestant 10 commandments are diverse from The Catholics unique, older ten commandments (be satisfied to certainty verify me.) regrettably, the Holy Roman Catholic Church is Judged greater commonly in accordance with scholars of the present day feminist circulate of the western international and scholars of history the two novice and expert 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 existence and the upkeep of human existence and reverence for the amazing thing approximately Gods area our duty. For some reason, human beings think of it somewhat is approximately controlling women. Lol! The quote is a kin to 'we could circulate to conflict and enable god variety 'em out.' Or 'we could circulate scouse borrow and if God helps the stuff to nonetheless be in my wallet when I leave the keep, then it must be ok.' -Loving, satisfied Catholic.

Answer 3

A. Married Catholic couples can have sex whenever they want to, even if they aren't actively trying for a baby. A baby might be conceived anyway, but hey, that's one of the effects of having sexual intercourse.

B. It's okay to use hormonal treatments to regulate your cycle, as long as you aren't using them to prevent you from conceiving a baby when you normally would. Typically, most doctors prescribe the Pill for this, but it's only because they are lazy and don't care about what's best for women. If your cycles are really painful or have some other "irregularity," then what you need is a treatment that will FIX your problem, not a pill that just masks your symptoms. Google "NAPRO Technology" to find doctors who actually specialize in FIXING women's problems instead of just slapping a band-aid on it.

Answer 4

First, let's get rid of this idea that Catholics are only supposed to have sex for procreation. THIS IS WRONG.

"The Church finds affirmation for this unitive meaning of love, marriage and sex in the Genesis story of Adam and Eve—"It is not good for the man to be alone" (Gn 2:18). The desire not to be alone, to love and to be loved—physically, psychologically and spiritually—is a deeply rooted yearning. Drawing on Adam and Eve as a model, the Judeo-Christian tradition upholds marriage, called a 'community of life and love,' as the natural, God-given context for living together and lovemaking." http://www.americancatholic.org/Newsletters/CU/ac0892.asp

When shared by a husband and wife out of love sex can be a sacramental moment.

Now for the other part. There is no reason for you not to use hormone therapy to regulate your menstrual cycle. You are not using birth control. The medication is a hormone therapy that is also used for birth control and in common terms referred to as birth control pills. This does not apply to your situation. Use the medication prescribed, as prescribed, in good conscience.

Answer 5

Most Roman Catholic families in modern, middle class America have 2-4 kids.
They're using birth control. So should you!!

Do you know how much parochial school, the Jesuit High School, and Notre Dame or Fordham will cost if you multiply that by eight kids? Several million!! Do you have several million lying around? No? Then spend $30 per month on condoms or the pill. (One week of diapers is @$30, btw.)

"Natural Family Planning" and the rhythm method are NOT effective means of birth control (ask any doctor) despite the bs they feed us at church and at school. NFP and rhythm WILL RESULT IN UNPLANNED, UNWANTED PREGNANCIES!!!!

This is 2007. Tell the Pope to worry about his own sex life!!

Answer 6

There ARE caveats in the Catholic faith that allow the usage of hormonal contraceptives to treat menstrual issues.

Frankly, I don't see why a FAITH should tell you what you can or cannot do with your body. But if you are suffering, then by all means DO go to the doctor and get help. The bible says to love God & love thy neighbor, not suffer under horrific conditions that can today be treated by modern medicine!!!

Answer 7

I'm sure it's fine since you're not using it for contraception. You shouldn't have to deal with your cycle being off when there's a treatment for it. I'm Catholic..went to private Catholic elem school & will be starting on it next week.

Answer 8

I'm not Catholic, but if you're not having sex, I don't think there would be a conflict. You wouldn't be contracepting.

But you should probably ask your priest.
