[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The #1 tenet of Catholicism is life, so anything that prevents that is against Catholic teaching essentially. That's also why they have been against barrier birth control (prevents creation of life) like condoms, but rhythm method is OK since it's not stopping life creation.

Where things get dicey I think is the stance on gay marriage. The purpose of marriage is to create life, so that's been the reasons against gay marriage as I understand it. But if that's the reason, shouldn't they also prevent marriage between people too old to conceive? Or infertile people?[/quote]

lol. the Catholic view on condoms is so nonsensical; OP should not expect to find any coherent moral philosophy on any of this stuff. At the end of the day, relying on celibate men who will never have children or a wife to explain the morality of reproduction is doomed to failure. Depsite all the gobbeldygook in Humane Vitae, there is no possible sensible explanation for why the rythym method is Ok, and condoms are not. [/quote]
