question about birth control?
Question:
Answers:
"Artificial" birth control as defined by most religious systems, including Catholocism includes barrier methods, such as condoms, sponges, contraceptive films, and diaphragms; hormonal methods such as birth control pills, shots, or implants; and IUDs.
The specific form of "natural" birth control sanctioned by the Roman Catholic Church is called "Natural Family Planning" (NFP). NFP and abstinence are the only birth control measures officially approved by the church.
"Natural" birth control includes things like the rhythmn method and similar methods which involve a woman tracking her monthly cycle of ovulation and avoiding having sex on certain days of each month when she is most likely to conceive. Breast-feeding *may* (and I stress the *may*) also act as a form of natural birth control. A number of criticisms have been leveled at the various "natural" methods for their actual efficacy. It seems in many cases to depend upon the method itself and how well it is followed.
Abstinence is, of course, expected of all Catholics who are not married. NFP is permitted for married couples.
You can read more about NFP and birth control in general on Wikipedia.
Of course, both "artificial" and "natural" contraceptive methods can and do fail due to accidents or misusage.
The view of the Catholic Church seems to be that a woman is infertile during certain times of the month naturally or is infertile all-together because of natural aspects of humanity and therefore it is not a sin to take advantage of that natural infertility to enjoy the union of man and wife during those times to deliberately avoid conception either to space children out or if the couple is at that time not economically, spiritually, or socially capable of supporting children.
However, artificially creating a state of infertility seems to be regarded as sinful by interfering with the natural state of one's body and by intefering with one of the main points of marriage (in the Catholic viewpoint), which is to bear children.
pills and that sort are artificial natural would be abstinence
