So the government educating people about condoms and the pill, among other things, flies in the face of church teaching. Then ensues a behind-the-scenes battle for control... and the people lose.

i think you and i have discussed the rythm method before. the catholic church supports NFP (natural family planning) which is more complicated thant he rythm method. in fact the catholic church preaches against the rythm method because (at least in the US) they do not want families pushed into poverty from too many kids. but it is true the church/pope have stated that any form of birth control other than NFP and abstinance is against God.
