“...the Church was right all along on birth control.”
Maybe I shouldn’t quibble. But we were told to go forth and multiply by God in Genesis. That said, good for the Catholic Church for not ignoring the obvious interpretation of Scripture in this regard, when applied to birth control. They have taken a lot of heat in that regard in recent years.

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them. "Be fruitful, and multiply, and *replenish* the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
