Catholic view on contraception offered by pastor

I would like to offer some thoughts concerning the recent government mandate requiring artificial contraception to be made available through the auspices of the Catholic Church.

First, allow me to offer a brief explanation of the church’s position on contraception.

All Christians recognize that God’s gift of sexual intimacy has a two-fold purpose.

It is meant to deepen and enrich the love between husband and wife. It is also God’s way of allowing us to cooperate with God in the creation of life in accordance with God’s will.
