[Tony-W24168]

Many people believe in the doctrines of the Catholic faith because it is part of their heritage and upbringing. My wife is a practicing Catholic. She attends church regularly, prays and meditates regularly and feels comfortable with the rituals of the Church. They give her order and reason in life. We do, however, practice birth control. We use natural methods (a.k.a. the rhythm method) as well as contraceptives, and we strongly believe in planned parenthood. My wife has recognized that in our modern world it is important to control certain factors in life because of social, environmental and economic factors on a daily basis. The Catholic Church is often too slow to update doctrines that allow its followers to live lives that are current with the mindset of the planet’s social situation. Nothing is constant, not even the Catholic Church. Over the centuries it has undergone countless changes in doctrine and practice. Many of them come too late and ultimately do more damage than good (i.e. the Inquisition, the holy wars and, in my opinion, the issue of abortion. My wife identifies herself as Catholic because it is one of her defining characteristics. She gives to the Church and in return takes what she needs. She does not agree with all the Church preaches, but she and others like her are the force that helps the Church stay current and able to serve the changing needs of its members from generation to generation.
