Ranting about birth control would make people assume he wants to enforce it into their lives and them they would feel their rights are being infringed on. I wouldn't blame them if they left the church or stopped financing it because, I would do the same. So, yes it is bet true that one can do such thing and more if the topic of the use of birth control becomes the trending discussion in churches.

Well said. The author has precisely highlighted this point in his book as well. Morality is always neglected bofore money and power. It's very difficult to find a person nowadays who considers humanity as very important, in the presence of them.tafta wrote: ↑30 Jan 2021, 10:35 Money answers everything in this world. Humanity is faced with that difficult decision depending on where one is standing. When money is juxtaposed to morality the question becomes what can I do without for now. This is the reason why morality is placed last. Other forces must come into play for one to uphold morality over financial prowess.

I absolutely agree with you. I think there are many cases where using birth control is actually a "moral" option. I also think it's completely understandable that people would stop donating to the church for pushing this antiquated opinion, and I see this concept as an example of members being able to use their money and influence to show a powerful church what we really think of their values and what really matters to us.MarianaFigueira wrote: ↑18 Jan 2021, 14:16 This might be a bit controversial, but who is to say what morality really is? I know that one of the church's arguments against birth control is that you are sort of "canceling" a life. But, is it okay to be obligated to bring an unwanted life into this world? Even more so, to suffer. I'm from Latin America, and I've seen many children suffer a terrible life, and that kind of makes me pro-birth control.

Nonetheless, there is that temptation to drop all moral believes when ones gets a taste of money and power.
