  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    Does birth control use increase risk of divorce?

    http://www.catholicity.com/mccloskey/articles/state_of_the_church_2006.html If the above statistics are correct, it would suggest that birth control does not influence divorce. Rather, a person's faith and religion will have an influence on whether they believe in divorce or not.

    Does birth control use increase risk of divorce?

    The OP was asking for opinions (not sources). It is my opinion that birth control use does not increase the risk of divorce. Since only 3% of married Roman Catholics do not use birth control, it would be virtually impossible to find a reliable 'source' to back up my opinion.
