Contraception is not something that Orthodox Christians are free to use whenever and however they like. Roman Catholics use a form on contraception known as the rythm method with the same desired effect.

from www.dictionary.com:
con·tra·cep·tion ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kntr-spshn) n.
Intentional prevention of conception or impregnation through the use of various devices, agents, drugs, sexual practices, or surgical procedures.

Now unless you want to define abstinence from sex as falling under that definition, nothing the Catholic Church permits is contraception. Nor is the anything the Catholic Church permits against any law of God, unless you are going to try to find a divine commandment requiring couples to have intercourse whenever the wife is known to be fertile.

Hey, stop trying to argue that your own denomination hasn't caved, when it has. That being the case, it is understandable that you would try to argue that, oh well, the Catholic Church has caved also. It hasn't. Looks to me like logically, you should just openly embrace the sexual revolution, and be done with it.

Either that, or join the real Church.
