This no use of BC smacks of population control.

The church needed as big of an army as they could muster, to prevent being eaten by the beast they created.

Breed yourselves to pestilence and starvation, it's the HRC way! Rome needs warriors and support personnel. As long as the Church is draped in scarlet and purple with golden crowns and cups, breed yourselves into the dirt.

Dude! Step away from the bong.

I hesitated to return the volley, because it's a little hard for me to make heads or tails of what you're talking about, and I may get you wrong. But let me try a reasonable response.

"This no use of BC smacks of population control."

This no use of birth control smacks of OPPOSITION TO population control. Is that want you meant to say?

"The church needed as big of an army as they could muster, to prevent being eaten by the beast they created."

I have no idea what this means. The Pope is speaking of families as sanctuaries of life. Nothing in this article about mustering armies or creating monsters.

Are we reading the same article?

"Breed yourselves to pestilence and starvation, it's the HRC way! Rome needs warriors and support personnel."

This has various levels of incoherence. For one thing, creating pestilence and starvation does not produce warriors and support personnel. No one wants sick, starving warriors.

Second, there is nothing to logically connect wising up and refusing contraception, with pestilence and starvation.

Husbands and wives can control their fertility comfortably without contraception. In fact, Natural Family Planning (NFP) is the only method of family planning which

does not cost any money,
does not create negative physiological side effects,
does not make you dependent on drugs and devices supplied by the pharmaceutical industry,
is completely under the mutual control of the married couple themselves,
strengthens marital bonds,
can be effective in either postponing or achieving pregnancy,
and cannot be used coercively by the State.
