Ok, I know it will probably stirr a debate, but can someone tell me what the Catholic Church really thinks about the condoms?
I used to have really bad periods when I was about 21 and used the pill. But it messed up my liver and I put it away about 7 years ago. Since then I have always been using condoms. Fi actually likes using them because he is stressed about having children too early. We have been discussing NFP because we want to prepare for our Engaged Encounter class, and have mixed feelings. I think it would be great to be able not to use condoms because they stink, and I feel that it would just all feel better. But, we just cannot afford having children in at least the next two years. On the other hand, we both have pretty high libidos and in our understanding we would have to give up sex on my fertile days...
So is it really bad to use condoms on those days? If you were to rank how you, as a Catholic, feel about the following, what would your ranks be (1 being the best and 3 worst) for the following: Condoms, Pill, UDIs? (I am not including NFP, because I expect as Catholics we would all put this as #1).
Thank you,
