THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH (50pts) ~ Pt. 27:Marriage and Humanae Vitae

"This question of Artificial Contraception is of enormous importance.. tied up in the very fabric of being, this question to the openness of the transmission of new life, is at the heart of a great many problems we have in society today. A great many have said 'well why shouldn't a couple be free to use artificial contraception'.. number one, because it's against Nature, it's a sin against nature, against the Intrinsic Reality of Marriage, it's a sin against God's Divine Law which is manifested in the Natural Law, it's a sin against ourselves. So you say 'but aren't we masters over our own destiny?'.. and I say 'what a stupid question!'
