If you do not, on what scriptures do you base your belief?
If your church does not teach contraception to be sinful, by whose authority did it change the continual teaching of Christianity on the subject?
If it did not have such authority (which it obviously does not and cannot) then your system is in apostacy, and you have no grounds whatsover to challenge the scriptural interpretations and doctrines of Catholicism. Period.

Your Biblical and doctrinal assertions are most solid. It is not my intent to disparage individual Catholics when I reference Thomas Hobbes. It is my intent to lay criticism at the feet of the false Catholics who base not their doctrines upon Scripture, but upon the political dogma of Mammon or ecclesiastical power (something which I do not see you doing).
Catholicism needs to have a Pope with your attitude. I personally was rather fond of Cardinal O'Conner...
