This whole concept originated as a way to insure a base of Catholics for tithing

Christian and Jewish tradition always frowned on artificial birth control. Protestants uniformly condemned it until the Lambeth Conference of 1930, which was the breach in the wall.

“Protestants uniformly condemned it until the Lambeth Conference of 1930, which was the breach in the wall.”

and a good “breach” it was......NO other religion preaches this....The incredibley poor should be able to use birth control without fear of eternal damnation.

Pretty hard to justify the “no birth-control” position when it adds to exisitng missery in poor countries..
