I have a quick (maybe quick) question concerning what is the stance of the various Coptic and Oriental Orthodox churches on contraception.
I'm not asking for personal opinions from dissident Coptic and Oriental Orthodox members, but from the stances their Churches and Patriarchs hold.
Are they for, against, or neither for nor against, contraception?
Thanks for your help!!!

No, I'm not a real Cardinal.

Just a piece of trivia: the namesake of this member was a 19th century Anglican priest who later converted to Roman Catholicism. He is being investigated by the Catholic Church, to see if they will canonize him a Saint.

"No matter how "right" you may be on various points, you must be diplomatic also. The first and important thing is not "rightness" at all, but Christian love and harmony. Most "crazy converts" have been "right" in the criticisms that led to their downfall; but they were lacking in Christian love and charity and so went off the deep end, needlessly alienating people around them and finally finding themselves all alone in their rightness and self-righteousness. Don't you follow them!..."

"Personal opinions have no role in ministry of any kind. When we represent the Church, then we ought only say and do what the Church has asked us to do. All else is wasted energy and an opportunity for sin. It is when we lapse into personal opinions, even when we dress them in the language of the Church, that conflict will arise."
