I suppose that may promote the use of something other than the rhythm method of birth control, which is a no-no technically for Catholics. Beyond that, I got nuthin'.
My understanding is that the only acceptable method of birth control is abstinence. Even masturbation is a no-no because the equipment is there for one thing and one thing only, babies. Why it feels so damn good is probably because god wants to tempt us with pleasure. Hell, Catholic men are probably not supposed to enjoy the orgasm. I imagine women are supposed to say three hail mary's for each one they have as they aren't absolutely necessary for pregnancy.
Abstinence before marriage.
Within a marriage the only allowed method of birth control is what used to be call the rhythm method which was counting days and predicting fertility. They have a new name now...Natural Family Planning.
Old joke - Why to they call it practicing the rhythm method? Because you never perfect it.
