What are your thoughts on the use of contraception and the role of the Church in influencing these decisions?
Fully agree, as I replied to someone else just a bit ago. The pill is essential because male condom use is hard to control. Guys don't use such things if they can get away with not doing so, but that penis is not going into their body. The person being entered has absolute authority to make that call. Not the man, not the Church. Indeed, it bespeaks the flaws in the Church that there are no ordained women controlling these teachings, but the irony escapes most of those dolts and when it does not, it is all the more evil.
