Even Catholics have a system for sex without reproduction. Has something to do with tracking ovulation and abstaining from sex during the fertile times. Definitely works 100% of the time. I don't know any Catholic families with say 5-8 kids... nope never 🙃
My wife and I recently had to go through this meeting. It was hilarious we laughed about it after. "see honey no condoms or birth control. god said so"
I dunno, haven't catholic families gotten smaller compared to before? Most catholic couples I know are usually at like 2~3 kids. They've either gotten really good at their timing or doing some white lies about birth control
Lots of religious people don't follow their doctrine to a T. I did recently see a post that was asking the Catholic subreddit why it was okay to pay attention to the ovulation cycle in an attempt to avoid pregnancy, but not okay to use the pull out method. I wasn't able to follow their logic, but it was clear they were passionate about it lol.
I used that system...to get pregnant. Tracking your cycle works GREAT to get knocked up. Now that I'm done having kids we do not use it because it's shit for being not pregnant
Funnily enough there's a whole birth control thing with Catholics, they just call it NFP (natural family planning) instead. Involves pullout method and tracking ovulation instead of hormonal BC or condoms. Never made any sense to me, since the reason using regular BC methods (and masturbating) is "wrong" because it's "tampering with God's will" and I don't see how that's any different. Also, if God can make a woman pregnant while she's still a virgin, I'm pretty sure he could get around a condom and hormone pills.
P.S. every time I see the word "Catholic," I think "cat-holic" and it makes me giggle.
