True, and the Catholic Church has the unconscionable position of making contraception as much a sin as abortion. This is because the power of the Church lies essentially in the number of its members, and anything that threatens that number cannot be allowed. This is the same greed-based reasoning requiring celibacy for priests and nuns. If they have no heirs, all their property must revert to the Church. There is not one word, not one syllable, in the Bible against contraception, abortion, or married priests (aside from Paul/Saul the uptight, arrogant Roman "convert" who acted like he knew Jesus, a person he never met, better than Jesus' own disciples). In some ways, Catholicism is the worst modern religion on Earth.
