Ah, but the Church's teaching develops, all the time.

But in the development of doctrine, a new understanding never contradicts an old one. So, to say that using contraceptives under certain circumstances is not a development of doctrine, but a corruption. John Henry Newman explains this in his classic work ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF DOCTRINE.
