That’s a matter of opinion. The church may offer moral guidance, but nonetheless it’s between the individual and God.

The underlying issue is whether banning contraception is supported by scripture or not. Once that question is answered it is business of the church to tell its members what they should or should not be doing. If a belief/behavior is essential then the church is directed by scripture to put out someone who is in violation and unrepentant.

That being said, I don't know of any scripture that makes it clear that avoiding contraception is essential, or even strongly recommended.

I skimmed the article, and while there are many problems associated contraception, most are roughly the equivalent of saying cars should not have back seats because of what happens there.

The cold will not be conquered by medicating the symptoms.
