[Conservative til I die]

To equate using condoms, spermicides, and the pill to choosing not to have natural, normal sex on certain days of the month is silly.

Now please answer my previous question and tell me if using condoms, birth control pills, and spermicides is permissible in the Orthodox Church, and also tell me whether this has always been the case or if these are new "rules".

And also please stop calling me a liar just because you don't agree with mine and the Church's views on just what is contraception.

How can it have always been the case when such devices did not exist in the past? How can you deny the rythym method used by the Latin Rite is also a recognized form of birth control?

In any case an ecumenical council can decide such a thing - where evidence is brought forth and debated. Return to the 8 ecumenical councils and then the unified church can make an authoritative ruling.

I can state unequivocally that the Orthodox Church had no "rules" whatsoever on birth control pills prior to the existence of said pills. Funny how that works out.
