is that, the catholic church opposes sex as a "leizure activity". They want you to have sex only when you are going to procreate, not just for fun.\n\nkinda weird.... but oh well, the catholic church....

A big reason is that many Catholics are more worldly than the Church and God call them to be.  They are "cafeteria Catholics", choosing the parts of the faith that they like and dismissing the rest.  Another reason is that many Catholics are poorly taught . . . they haven't had any teaching since middle or high school (and haven't sought any), so they aren't sure of what is true and what isn't.  Also, there are some who profess the Catholic faith and teach error (my husband was at a meeting of RCIA where a teacher, who had been in the seminary, but left, told the candidates that the Church teaches that birth control is wrong, but that they would be in "big trouble" if they didn't use it).  \n\nIn addition, not using birth control doesn't mean that a woman will have many children.  A good friend, who I think got married in her late twenties, has one living child.  She has also had a miscarriage and had a baby die a few days after birth.  They are not using birth control, but God has not chosen to give her many children at this time.  This is something I must constantly remind myself of, because I tend to judge others based on what I see . . . and a small family doesn't mean small faith in God.  :-)

a big thank you thank you, this is what i have been trying to get through to ppl. Its an mental illness that affects people from all walks of life. Not just a catholic priest. Only reason they pick on the catholics about this is because the church doesn't allow the priest to get married. so there  is where they come up with this bs. My point is if  that is the case. then whats  the excuse of all the others that do this  and are married?

Abortion is not birth control. If she's perfectly healthy, she wasn't raped, and it wasn't a case of incest, she would be both selfish and immature to abort the child rather than to give it up for adoption. Two million U.S. couples are waiting to adopt babies. \n\nAbortions are physically and mentally draining on women. She will never forgive herself. It will haunt her and break her heart for the rest of her life.

no i do not think using any form of birth control a sin,i do think that having chilren that you cant take care of,or end up abusing them because you didnt want them a real sin!

I am Catholic and am Prochoice. This does not mean that I am Proabortion, simply that I respect everywoman's right to live her life within her own personal convictions. How can I, or anyone else force a female of any age to have a baby that she conceived during a rape? How about a 9 year old having a baby? It happens... How about a 52 year old who thought she couldn't get pregnant due to menopause? Should we be able to force any of these people to carry a baby that could be life threatening to the mother? How about the little girl? Should she have to go through a life changing event when clearly she can't be reponsible?\n\nYes, I can call myself a Catholic. I am very proud to. I am just as proud to call myself a human being. We really need to remember that we should advise from he heart but not condemn..."he without sin..." We should  lead by example...support programs that you believe in. But for any of us to start dictating anyone else's beliefs would be nothing but a dishonor to God.\n\nWe won't even go into the medical aspects of what carring a baby to term can do to a child or someone not in peak health.\n\nBy the way, I am also a very proud Mommy, planned and prayed for, and a Grandma..too!

Never.  \n\nIt would all depend on your morals, if you morals say birth control is bad, then I suppose it is.  However, I think having a child that you don't want is far more immoral personally.

I agree. This whole Catholic Church priest thing has gotten ridiculous. As if the Catholic Church is the only religion who has this problem. I think it has to do with people not understanding the need for Priests to be celibate and assuming that's leads to pedophillia, which it doesn't.

That's exactly what I think! They say that marriage is to procreate but what about the married couples who use birth control, can't have kids because of medical reasons or get fixed so they can't have any more kids! They shouldn't be allowed to get married either!\nAnd by the way a lot of gay couples do procreate (just not the conventional way)!!

Yes.  There is no birth control that is 100% effective.

Although I don't think abortion should be used as a backup form of birth control, I do think that there are always circumstances that are beyond us.  I think that some women have their reasons and that is their choice!

Please settle down sadgirlgreeneyez!\n\nThere are pedophiles in other denominations too, not just in Catholicism. Besides that, only 2% would fall under that title.

Yes, some people, including hundreds of thousands of traditional Roman Catholics, believe that preventing fertilization through artificial means is a sin.

Catholics do a lot of things not in the bible.  They live by their own little set of rules and ideas they consider "truths".  Most cannot give a reason for their actions/beliefs, etc beyond "because that's what the catholic church says" and they just blindly follow it.

That's true.  I can't say as I approve of war and disaster as a viable means of birth control, however. ;-)

Definatly we can be trusted to take it, why? because well... if a guy is even considering taking those pills he obviously does not want a child. And therefore could be trusted to take the pills (now there are two types of trust i suppose, the first is that I think it is safe to assume a guy won't INTENTIONALLY not take the pills in order to get a lady pregnant).  Now can he be trusted to remember to take the pill? well i would say probably, it depends on the guy, I know that if I was not ready to have a child and was having unprotected sex i would remember to take the damn pill.  However that could just be me.
