Catholic Church against Cesarean section
August 12, 2021 at 12:04 pm

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Anything related to sex and they are against it (exceptions apply for priests and young boys though)

I must have been raised a different kind of Catholic.

Do they have special classes on that sort of thing?
I grew up in a town that was over 90% Catholic. I went to Catholic school from 6th grade through high school. We had a Basilica in town. I learn more about Catholic teachings here than I ever did there.

Crap city! I didn't know any of this either. I absolutely don't understand why anyone would submit to such medieval beliefs. OTOH, I know lots of Catholics and most of them practice birth control and some have had C-sections, so it's obvious that their flock doesn't take this nonsense seriously.
And btw, what twisted "logic" do they use to conclude that a c-section promotes the use of contraceptives? If anything would it's the procedure you just described.
Why is it so?

The only thing I can sort of piece together is that it's often advised a woman have no more than three C-sections. 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.
Why is it so?
