Ya think it’s about time? And let’s face it, most Catholics ignore this little rule anyway.
Technically, the Catholic Church does approve of birth control – bad birth control called the “rhythm method”. So here are my questions: What’s the difference between artificial birth control and the rhythm method? (Besides the effectiveness) What’s the difference between using a condom and willfully and deliberately refraining from sex during ovulation when pregnancy can occur? Isn’t abstaining from sex during this time frame a conscious decision not to procreate? And, if so, how is that any different from regular birth control?
