[Hermann the Cherusker]

How is birth control a moral issue? The Catholic church has even rethought things on this issue. While they still do not approve of a man-made contraceptive, they teach how to figure it out by the woman's cycle.

The Catholic Church has always allowed that spouses may obstain from intercourse at any time for whatever reasons they see fit (although there is a general obligation of social justice for married couples to have a sufficient number of children to provide for the propagation of humanity - generally held to be a minimum of 4). And she has always taught that all artifical forms of birth control are immoral.

Where is the change?

The Catholic Church has always allowed that spouses may obstain from intercourse at any time for whatever reasons they see fit Actually, Catholic teaching provides that a couple must have serious and compelling reasons not to have another child. Not having a big enough house or wanting a trip to Disney World is not enough.
