If marriage is for procreation

[oneofmany]

I have many non-Catholic family members and they do not have any problems with getting vasectomies or taking birth control pills or getting sterilized after they have had their families. I can see they do not need to worry about how they are going to make it financially, etc. Their faith does not make it mandatory not to do these things. In some ways I think they have a good idea. God gives us children but He also wants us to be able to raise them in good health for both the parents and children and not in live in poverty.

As far as I can see these couples have loving, committed marriages and they are trying to do the right thing. I can only see it helping their marriages. Just an opinion.

As a Catholic should you be voicing publicly a mere “opinion” which sees as a “good idea” a complete disregard for the natural moral law and the infallible teaching of Christ’s Church against all of those evil things and apparently not even realising the evil?

Exercising prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance is virtuous, in accord with the natural law. Are you that unknowing of the natural law and of Christ’s teaching?

I am aware of all these things and my relatives are good Christians who are pro-life and go to church faithfully. I guess their religion does not see this as wrong and they do not condone abortion or any other non-Christian issues in society. I haven’t talked with their minister about such things but I have to believe they have and it is not a problem with them. They go to the Baptist church. I’m not sure what the Baptists believe in this regard.
