When it threatened to decrease the number of flock considerably or more to the point when contraception started interfering with the power base of the holy church.
Is it so inconceivable that maybe - just maybe - they sincerely believe that God does not want us to engage in contraception?
Well, yes - if there's no basis for it. No scriptures, no tablets handed down from on high.
Do they sincerely believe we shouldn't take vitamins? That we shouldn't have remedial surgery. Why is some meddling with the body to improve quality of life OK but other meddling not OK?
I was seriously asking how priests got involved in contraception. You have proven so knowledgeable about the Catholic religion, and been able to explain much that seemed a mystery to me in the past - I figured there was a good chance you knew the answer...
