So what?
And that's a matter of opinion.
Puritans are puritans and do not reflect all of evangelical or Protestant Christianity.
For that matter your comment is ludicrous considering the immorality that looseness so many of us former Catholics are charged with.
That year marked the first time in the history of Christian believers that a Christian denomination approved of contraception. That was the Anglicans at Lambeth in August, 1930.
(Actually, I think the Unitarians did this before 1930, but they don't, by their own declaration, count as Christians.)
OK, digging into my notes:
As the various Protestant denominations formed, their founders and leaders also condemned contraception in the strongest possible terms. John Calvin called the practice of contraception “condemned” and “doubly monstrous,” and saw abortion as “a crime incapable of expiation.” John Wesley said that contraception is “very displeasing to God, and the evidence of vile affections.” Martin Luther called those who used contraceptives “logs,” “stock,” and “swine.”
Virtually every leader of every Protestant denomination condemned contraception explicitly and forcefully in his sermons and writings.
These included Anglicans Henry Alford, William Dodd, Joseph Hall, and Christopher Wordsworth; Calvinists Jacob Alting, Robert S. Candlish, and Cotton Mather; Evangelicals Keith Leroy Brooks and Thomas H. Leale; Huguenot Jean Mercier; Lutherans Johann Albrecht Bengel, Johannes Brunnemann, and Abraham Calovius; Methodists Adam Clarke and Richard Watson; Nonconformists Henry Ainsworth, Daniel Defoe, and John Gill; Presbyterians John Brown, Robert Dabney, and Melancthon W. Jacobus; and Puritans Richard Stock and John Trapp.
Al Mohler of the Southern Baptist Convention: “The Evangelical Unease Over Contraception”
Excerpt:
Is the evangelical concern about birth control part of a larger worldview? Of course it is. As a matter of fact, evangelicals did not come to the conversation about birth control until a host of other moral issues forced the question. Lupfer states that evangelical leaders “will tell you that the Protestant embrace of birth control lacked adequate theological reflection.” We will tell you that because it is true — demonstrably true. In the words of historian Kathleen Tobin, “all major denominations in the Judeo-Christian world condemned contraception” until the 20th century. As she points out, it was the liberal and mainline Protestant groups driving the acceptance of birth control, with conservative Protestants solidly against it at least until World War II. As for theology — it hardly played a part in the debates among liberal Protestants.
For evangelicals, everything changed with the advent of The Pill.
