That&#x27;s the official line of the catholic church, yes.  Not without internal protests, and not without quite a few people, including clergy, ignoring it, but still. No active birth control, married or not.<p>The fact that (unlike e.g. AIDS, where this policy also has been under fire) this isn&#x27;t sexually transmitted and supposedly temporary might make it easier to change the line? I think the GP is right that now seems to be a prime moment for it to happen.
