Birth control and church teaching | National Catholic Reporter

Birth control and church teaching | National Catholic Reporter by Nicholas Collura.  MB: The fact is that the teaching on contraception started out as a teacing on Eugenics - running  counter to the idea that certain people should not be allowed to breed, even if they wanted to.  Paul VI forgot that piece on self-governance, added some of the usual mysogyny about sex that seems to go as much from Marcus Aurelius as any apostle or doctor of the Church and relies on a really bad understanding of embryology - essentially views that would cause a High School Bio teacher to mark the answer wrong.  Resisting attempts to limit the population - especially among brown people - are certainly consistent with Gospels.  Continuing with myogyny do not - especially in Church that refuses to ordain women.
