98% of Catholic Women Have Used Contraception the Church Opposes

Being raised in a catholic church, and in a catholic family, I am pretty positive that most catholic's are more in line with OBAMA than SANTORUM. I could be wrong but probably not.

Every Catholic family I know uses contraceptives. Why? Because people can't afford 20 kids in 20 years, and no one wants the mother dying young in childbirth leaving motherless children like it used to happen all the time before the pill was available. Catholic leaders are clueless about the reality of raising children, the responsibility, the cost, the risks, because they've never had them thanks to their archaic restrictions on marriage. A bunch of pompous inexperienced fools trying to lecture others on something they know nothing about.

With he exception of some beautiful churches, great music, some exceptional priests (note the word some), the church has become irrelevant. One can follow a faith without all of the window dressing that only benefits the clergy.

"98% of Catholic Women Have Used Contraception the Church Opposes" Which has 100% nothing to do with the argument. 40% of all married people cheat on their spouses. Should the church accept cheating as OK? How many people are involved in premarital sex? Should the church just accept that also?

This article is, sadly, a deceitful claim. But then, the western media cares little for truth that goes against the liberal norms of the day.

To begin with, the Guttmacher Institute was founded planned parenthood and is financed by the likes of the United Nations Population Fund, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Hugh M. Hefner Foundation, people with obvious bias to contraceptive propaganda. Any surprise as to the institute’s ‘findings’?

Secondly, the survey was restricted to Catholic women who are sexually active and seeking to avoid becoming pregnant. That there are Catholic women who go against church teaching to use contraceptives is true, but the ‘survey’ focused on only these women, and none of those who faithfully follow church teaching.

So, when focusing on a group mostly made up of people who are disobeying church teaching, do you honestly expect to come up with a contrary result?

In any case, the only pertinent question is this: does the fact that ‘98%’ of Catholic women invalidate the Catholic Church’s teaching on contraceptives? Hardly. It’s not numbers that determine what is right or wrong, but the subject matter itself. This is a point which liberals like the above writer keep trying to occlude.

‘98%’ of Americans steal, yet stealing is still not condoned. It remains wrong, regardless of the majority. Clinton’s affair with Lewinsky remained wrong, regardless of the fact that ‘98%’ of American men cheat on their wives.

Morality is not a tale of numbers, but of truth.

If you don’t have truth to argue with, then please don’t spread lies.

Okay, seriously. How do you draw a straight line from a Catholic woman uses or wants to use birth control to it's okay to FORCE the Catholic Church to provide coverage for it? It's between her and her church, not the Church and the State. Just how nutty WAS your geometry teacher?

I think the main reason the catholic church don't want people to use comtraception cause it the birth rate among catholics drop they won't be able to build up the sagging attendance Less and less catholics are going to church according to statistics.

99.9% of Catholic's lie. Therefore, the Church should get with modern times and start condoning lying.

Obamacare is about OBAMA telling companies, people, everyone what they had to BELIEVE and pay for. You can keep your health care if you like it quote Obama. Another LIE from Obama how many more. My survey shows 89% of people believe OBAMA lies.

For violating the sanctity of life, these so-called women must suffer the proscribed punishment sanctioned by the True Church for their act of heresy. They must be burned at the stake. May the Lord have mercy on their souls.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that you can't use contraceptions.

If 98% use it doesn't mean it's good. The Church stands for truth

First Amendment provision on religion essentially means that the federal government cannot dictate what a person or group believes.

During prohibition there were three types of people ,wets, drys and hypocrites.

The real headline should read: "100% of Christians are sinners!" At least we know that's true. We are all sinners.

I wish people would spend more time practicing Christian virtues instead of telling others they must follow Christian "principles".

1984.

Interesting the Church's backers come at this with the same storm of righteous indignation we'd get if they had more power.

This Jesuit-educated, once-molested Catholic has seen it all up close.

this is so true when i got married we hadto take a class before the church would marry us...one ofthe lessons was birth control..the teacher (not a priest) started by saying well we have to talk about this and i drew the short straw so here goes....he knew from experience that none of us would be oppos eto birth control and most of the womanin the class were ON THE PILL ALREADY

So doesn't that prove that they don't need the government's help to get it?

Just saying...
