One of the problems with interpreting the bible is determining if a story in the bible is meant to represent a good action or a bad action. This interpretation of the bible concerning birth control is a good example.
The Bible Is Pro-Birth Control:
Are these references to Solomon supposed to be demonstrating "good behavior?" or "bad, sinful behavior?"
It is my understanding that the Catholic Church didn't have a position on birth control until St Thomas Aquinas wrote his philosophy around 1250AD. At the time, children were considered valuable, because they helped build the economy, and spread the Catholic religion by increasing the population of Catholics faster than the spread of Islam.
