Contraception

Catholics believe that the beautiful gift of sexuality is given by God to unite a husband and wife as a physical expression of their union of souls, as well as to cooperate with His plan of creation in the generation of children. Children are a great blessing and a gift to the couple and to the world. Since contraception is the deliberate exclusion of the possibility of generating new life, and thereby does not respect the nature of a married couple’s love as cooperating with God’s creative will, we believe that it is always immoral. Some forms of contraception, such as the contraceptive pill, may also cause an abortion of a fertilized ovum, further exacerbating the seriousness of the act. For couples who wish to refrain from having children for a serious reason, and in a way that is harmonious with God’s plan, the Church exhorts Christians to use Natural Family Planning, an effective way of achieving responsible parenthood using the very means given to us by God, the natural fertility cycles of the human body.
