I know I’m opening a can of worms asking Protestants this but I’m curious how this compares to Catholics. I’m a recent Catholic convert mostly because my husband wanted to join the church and I felt God ask me to join with him. By the way I absolutely love Protestants so deeply, they are the ones who introduced me to Christ and fellowshipped with me in those early years but of course I’m going where the Lord asks.
So my brothers and sisters do you know the Catholic stand on birth control? Intrinsically evil absolutely not allowed. Not even condoms or pull out method
NFP is the only acceptable method. I used it and got pregnant 9 months later. My Catholic mates of course say it’s user error and my own fault so what can I expect and I have a corrupt worldview because I want to separate procreation from sex but this has caused me a great deal of suffering. I’ve considered leaving the church but I don’t want my family to be divided.
So I’m now pregnant and I have a 9 month old. I have 2 other children as well still young. My 9 month old was a NICU baby and has GERD so he cried for 9 months straight- just now getting better.
What would you do? Would you get on birth control if the church you joined didn’t allow it? Would you surrender your fertility to God? If God asked you to join a church you struggled with the theology what would you do?
Thanks and much love!
