text: "Pretty sure," huh Joey?  I think you have visited here a sufficient number of times to know that is not the case... and if Catholics are ignorant of what the Church teaches about contraception it is a *willful* ignorance to say the least. The evolution from an agrarian society to an industrial one might have something to do with it, unless you live in a world that is unaffected by this obvious reality... so let's cut to the chase here--are you yourself married with 12 children... or aspire to do so at least?
  
  PS--I should add that no less than 3 priests my wife and I were counseled by (many years back under JPII) had no issues with responsible family planning (non abortive), and none to the contrary... which not only proves that they accept contraception, many/most likely disagree with the ban to begin with!!  But I suppose those are "fake" Catholic priests in your book, am I right?
