    Ignoring the myriad of other reasons, merely the fact that the catholic church opposes women’s control over their own reproduction (which is the only measure that works to alleviate poverty) should be enough for anyone.

    ETA: also, isn’t it weird to be lectured to about sex by a virgin who you call father?

        I’ll humour you (although I think you’re actually trolling)…

        Incase you didn’t know, the catholic church opposes abortion and contraception.

          yes, it does. You should only have sex if you want a child, otherwise its quite hedonistic

            The catholic church explicitly promotes sex for the purposes of unity within a married relationship.

            The church also promotes having sex during non-ovulation times to dissuade natural conception.

            So you’re a hypocrite who gets off (no pun intended) on telling others how to live, the worst kind of theist dickhead.

              to facilitate natural conception and sex can be of unity, but only when you do it for the purposes of having a child

                Facilitating natural conception can be unity but does not necessarily mean it must be.

                You are picking and choosing what you believe.

                You’ve been trained well.

                    Correct. Now throw it a together and accept that sex can be unity. Your church explicitly allows it, as does your bible.

            OK now you have one reason why people hate on it.

            Hippies had it right. Enjoy your bodies how you see fit, this is no business of an organization.

            Even Catholic teaching says that sex is vital for partner bonding beyond procreation.
