Should Catholic Church change its stand on the use of contraceptives?
It has been stated by many people that the Roman Catholic Church needs to change its policy towards the use of contraceptives. In this regard, these people have given several reasons. However there are others who believe that the Catholic Church should not introduce any changes in its contraception policy. In this regard, they have given the below mentioned reasons.
Points against introducing any changes in the contraception policy by the Roman Catholic Church:-
1. First of all, these people claim that the health science clearly provides that there are very high chances of getting sexually transmitted diseases if a person engages in sexual acts with more than one partner. At the same time, these people claim that doing so is also against the fundamentals of the religion or the Ten Commandments. Therefore, these people claim that sex has been defined only for the purpose of procreation. Therefore, having sex for any other reason is not good. Similarly, a responsibility has been imposed on the woman regarding themselves as well as for their potential child. People can have sex in marriage for the purpose of having children. The persons who are not in favor of any change in the contraception policy of the Catholic Church believe that the church also believes in contraception but only if it is through abstinence. They also believe that it is a very significant issue and therefore, a strong opinion has been held by the church. These people believe that the choice in this regard should be left to the Catholics themselves.
