Despite Catholic Teachings, Catholic Women Religiously Take The Pill...
"The encyclical of Pope Paul VI on birth control is true and must be followed by mankind. There shall be no rationalization of sin.” - Our Lady of the Roses, October 2, 1976
Fifty years after the birth control pill went on the US market, millions of women around the world are still under orders from the Roman Catholic hierarchy to eschew its use.
But all indications are that women stopped listening long ago.
"Catholics use the pill the same way everyone else does... Priests don't even preach against it any more," said Jon O'Brien, president of Catholics for Choice.
Ninety-eight percent of American women aged 15-44 have used some form of contraception and more than 44 million have used the pill, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
"There is no evidence that the teachings of the church influence Catholics in their decisions about the kind of contraception they actually use," said Frances Kissling.
The lead author of a 2004 report on Catholics' attitudes on sexual behavior, Kissling said fewer than five percent of Catholics in the United States use birth control methods allowed by the Church.
These include the rhythm method, where couples abstain from sex depending on where the woman is in her menstrual cycle; total abstinence; or breast-feeding for birth control.
Protestants, Jews and Muslims are bound by less rigid teachings on birth control than Catholics, but all the major religions' rules on the matter are based on the premise that the reason for sex is to go forth and multiply.
Just two years after US officials approved the pill -- one of whose inventors was a practising Catholic and the other the son of Russian Jewish immigrants -- the Vatican came close to loosening its rules on birth control when a papal commission made up of bishops, theologians and lay people set up by Pope Paul VI recommended that the Church lift its ban on artificial birth control.
O'Brien thinks the bishops on the panel had been touched by the stories told by five married women on the commission about life as part of a couple.
"The women spoke of the fear of sex, the fear of pregnancy, having one pregnancy after the other, maternal mortality, which was prevalent in northern societies because of the ban on contraception," said O'Brien.
"The bishops' hearts and minds were changed and they voted to recommend that the Church rescind its ban on artificial contraception, saying it was not intrinsically evil and that the pope's previous teachings on it were not infallible.
"It was a miracle," he said.
But the pope wasn't swayed and in 1968, he ignored the commission and said the Church was sticking to its old line on birth control.
In other words, the pill was still banned for Catholics.
"The pill is not the problem. What the Church has a problem with, is people who want to have sex and cut the sex off from fertility," said Bill Mattison, a professor of theology at Catholic University in Washington.
"We're trying to keep sex dignified and life-giving here," he said.
And many Catholic women in the United States initially tried to abide by the Church's teachings in their marriages.
"We played 'Vatican roulette' for years and it didn't work," said Else, 79, who had four children and one miscarriage in five years and was ordered by her doctor to take the pill after she had a fifth child in 1967.
"The doctor said to me -- he was a Catholic -- 'You're playing with fire having another baby and I think we need to do something a little bit more guaranteed.' So he put me on the pill," she told AFP.
"If I hadn't gone on the pill, I'd probably have been having kids at 50, if I'd lived that long," she said.
Women like Else who tried to obey the Church's teaching on contraception, "had more children than they wanted, it was a great sacrifice in life and at a certain point they said, 'Enough of this. This is ridiculous.'
"They realized that the Catholic hierarchy of celibate men don't know what they're talking about when it came to birth control," she said.
"The other way to illustrate it is the joke that goes: 'What do you call Catholic couples who use the rhythm method?'" said Kissling.
The answer: paren
ts."We warned you over and over again, through years of visitations upon earth--My Mother going to and fro to warn you, that those who have given themselves over to debasement, by the practice of homosexuality, birth control, abortion and all other aberrations that bring sorrow to My Mother's heart--this must be stopped now. There shall be no excuse accepted in Heaven by the saints, nor by My Mother and I, or the Eternal Father and the Holy Ghost, for what you are doing upon earth now." - Jesus, June 16, 1987
“Permissiveness shall not be accepted by your God. Sin is sin; there is no compromise for sin. Mortal sin is a grievous offense to the Eternal Father. The Commandments shall be followed without permissiveness.” – Jesus, November 21, 1977

The awesome
Bayside Prophecies...
https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica
Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:
SIXTY MILLION
"I say this for this reason: the Eternal Father is much disturbed at the numbers
of abortions being committed throughout your country and the world. These
numbers go upwards to fifty to sixty million in one year throughout the world."
- Our Lady, June 18, 1986
TREATED AS GARBAGE
"O My child, My tears fall upon you all when I see all of the innocent little
babies being slaughtered . . . cast into garbage pails like nothing but dirt and
scum. They are living human beings! And all murderers shall get their just
recompense." - Our Lady,
March 18,
1983
DOCTORS
"Doctors now are profaning their profession, those who have given themselves
over to destroying human life in abortions." - Jesus,
June 6, 1987
FOULEST OF DEEDS
"Our hearts are torn because of the wanton murder of the young by evil man.
Abortion, My children, is murder, the most foulest of deeds, that is punishable
by death! And what is worse than death of the soul?
"I say unto you, as your Mother, that any man or woman who performs or
takes part of this abomination of the murder of the unborn shall be given a
heavy penance upon earth, or if this penance is not given upon earth, that
person found guilty in the eyes of his God shall suffer eternal damnation in the
fires of hell." - Our Lady,
December
28, 1976
TORMENT
"The torment that will be visited upon those who murder the innocent shall be
eternal damnation and feasting their eyes upon the murdered souls." - Our
Lady, May 10, 1972
SAINTS CRY OUT FOR PUNISHMENT
"Oh, the greatest of sorrow is
upon Our hearts because of the loss of the little ones. Your country, My child,
and many countries throughout your world, shall do great penance for the murders
of the young, the abortions, the murders being committed in your country. The
saints in Heaven cry out for punishment upon a wicked generation. Never in the
past, in all the slaughters of history, has there been such wanton killing of
the young and the innocent! I say unto you, as your God, you shall be brought
down to your knees! You, evil mankind, you shall be cleansed in a bloodbath!” -
Jesus, February 1, 1977

Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers promises to help protect our
children. On September 13, 1977, She said, "He has an army of ogres wandering
now throughout your country and all of the countries of the world. They are in
possession of great power; so wear your sacramentals, and protect your children
and your households. Learn the use every day of holy water throughout your
household. Insist even with obstructions, insist that your children always wear
a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will repel the demons."
On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these
sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the knowledge that
you will not be protected without the sacramentals. Guard your children's souls.
