Campion, The Church has condemned abortion and abortifacient contraception. It has condemned castration, permanent sterilization. It has not condemned non-abortifacient contraception until the Western Church decided to. It really is that simple, C.

By the way, it never ceases to amaze me how Latins are as adept at proof texting the Fathers and getting it wrong as the proddies are at doing the same thing with scriptures.

Bottom line, C, Roman Catholics in the West abort at rates equal to or greater than other Christians and use contraceptives at greater rates, rather substantially greater than Orthodox Christians. Your priests also hand out communion to publicly promiscuous people living together in sin, apparently as long as they continue to breed. Frankly, I think turning a blind eye to that sort of conduct is far, far more damaging to society than allowing Faith informed family planning by married people. Apparently the Magisterium disagrees.
