What's bold about his statement (as opposed to yours) is that he's implying this is promulgated by the Church and not conscientious objector Catholics like yourself.

Does that make him more "right" than me?

No, you're both wrong.

I'm just waiting for his source, that's all.

The Church condemns artificial -- and especially abortifacient -- birth control as illicit in no uncertain terms.

[Salvation]

this is promulgated by the Church

I guess you could read my statement to mean that the Church would approve of birth control. However, what I meant, was that on an individual basis, in sitting down with a priest and explaining the details, the priest can give you guidance from the point of view of the Church.

The individual, thus informed, can then judge his or her or situation.....alchoholism in the family.......Rh factor danger of losing the mother........etc., etc. Each individual cas is then decided by the individual, NOT the priest or the Church.

Is this a better explanation?
