While I find any form of artificial contraception wrong, I do see your point. Something like a diaphram or condom will not cause loss of life. So hormonal contraception s wrong on two levels, the perversion of nature and the abortaficiant side effects.
"So hormonal contraception s wrong on two levels, the perversion of nature and the abortaficiant side effects."
Yes.
And as far as relating that to the subject of the early christians' interpretation of its position against contraception...these nuances certainly could not have been considered back then, because they could not have known about those differences.
What I'm having trouble with is when someone says "here is the position taken by the Early Fathers...etc..."
And I wonder to myself how the Early Fathers could have an "official position" on a subject of which they had incomplete information.
