Back in 1930, even the secular newspaper editors at the Washington Post understood that the prohibition against contraception constituted "the plain teachings of the Bible."

Just a little reminder to us from history. Eighty years ago, even secular newspaper editors understood that which the majority of Christians today reject.

When a society has embraced Margret Sanger and complete disregard for human life the issue of contraception seems almost trivial. I thank God that we have the Catholic Church holding steadfast to its principles when so many other churches have caved to popular pressures in order to fill the pews.

I will ping this out in a bit.
Contraception is the gorilla in the room that hardly anyone wants to look at. Even though it’s going “ooga booga” and jumping around....

I’m absolurely pro-life and anti-abortion. I am also a Christian who is fairly familiar with the contents of the Bible.
I simply fail to recall the verses or passages that prohibit contrception. And while I follow the reasoning, I am unsure how sound the assumptions are.
I’d be more than willing tolisten to your thoughts, as I could well be wrong

Most Lutheran churches did to.
It is starting to change, but it is the 3rd rail. Something few want to mention on the pulpit.
