As I understand this absurdity that you continue to push, you hold that the state, by allowing people to choose whether to do things like use contraception, is forcing good Catholics to accept it and is violating their freedom to impose their version of morality by law.

Please consult someone who is an expert in this.

The Church will allow something like birth control to happen under certain circumstances. It is called "Informed Conscience" or "Mature Conscience". In other words, a Catholic after talking with a priest and considering all the options can make and Informed Conscience decision to use birth control. Each individual case is considered on its pros and cons.

Let's see if you get whipped as I do when I say things much less boldly than you have.

I've been looking and I don't see an authority for this beyond those whose consciences compel them to encourage others to likewise follow their consciences and abandon the teaching of the Church or "one man's opinion" as the press called Humanae Vitae.

Not to put too fine a point of it but - bull shit.

See #1777-1802 in the Catechism
