Why the Catholic Church Condemns Contraception | The Truth About the Pill

Description

Many Catholics ignore this teaching — but it comes straight from Sacred Scripture and Church Tradition. In Humanae Vitae, Pope Paul VI reaffirmed that all forms of artificial birth control are intrinsically evil because they separate the procreative and unitive purposes of marriage. The Bible itself condemns contraception — in Genesis 38, God strikes down Onan for “spilling his seed,” and Psalm 127 calls children a blessing, not a burden. Contraception has led to higher divorce rates, a culture of abortion, and a world that sees children as an inconvenience instead of God’s greatest gift. The Church calls married couples to live chastely and embrace Natural Family Planning, which honors God’s design for life and love. 🙏 Do you agree with the Church’s teaching?
