And artificial contraception was recognized by all sane people as a safe and inexpensive way to control population growth and reduce poverty and strain on resources. The catholic church has been fighting against that simple principle all along, and they still are, for reasons that have ZERO justification outside of of theological nutbaggery and religious prudery.

Please don't be giving the catholic church credit for anything here. They deserve nothing but shame.
