I've never understood the no birth control thing. Why is the Catholic Church against it? I can understand why somebody would oppose abortion but I dont get the birth control. I know people who are barely making ends meet and dont believe in birth control and the wife just keeps getting pregnant. At some point I feel like you have to use a little common sense and either get your tubes tied or take some other measure.

The Roman Catholic Church believes that sex/sexual acts that PREVENT procreation are sins.

You can have sex while pregnant or in menopause because those are naturally occurring events in God's design. But for someone to alter fertility or conception through artificial means is not part of the design. Damn, I love me some Wikipedia!

I think the only "birth control" that Catholics are allowed to use is when they refrain from sex while the woman is ovulating. There is a name for this, but I forget what it is right now.

Think about it Woodie..... If your followers have to continue having children, the number of people being raised in that environment increases and the chances of said religion will grow and prosper..... Cool

The rythm method is what I think you are referring too.

But seriously I dont get it. This not only just affects child birth. These people dont believe in condom use. With all the diseases floating around now I think they need to get off their little soap box. They tell people that condoms are not 100 percent effective at preventing diseases...fine...

NOt smoking cigarettes is not 100% effective of not getting lung cancer...but smoking them increases the chances of getting lung cancers. Just like having sex without a condom increases the chances of getting a damn disease.

At some point these religions need to step into the 21st century. I mean hell we at the Deist Church of Hooters believe in condoms. We dont know what you nuns are doing in your spare time Laughing

But I certainly hope you are getting most of it on video.... I make a motion that the church supplies all the nuns with digital camera so they can keep video records of the daily lives of nuns for posterity sake. Wink Wink

We don't "wish" for it, we pray for it. I believe that is one of our sanctified prayers, if not, it should be...... Where is a damn Saint when you need one....?????? Rolling Eyes
