Q

What do Roman Catholics believe about premarital sex?

A
  • Roman Catholics and Traditional Evangelicals are against all sex outside of marriage

  • They also believe in the teaching of ‘one-flesh’ that suggests that there is a bonding that takes place in sexual union which is permanent and should only occur in a committed, life-long exclusive relationship
  • “and the two shall become one flesh”

17
Q

What is the Roman Catholic view on contraception?

A
  • The Catholic and Orthodox Church teaches that artificial contraception goes against natural law
  • Catholics believe that God’s purpose for marriage is to have a family and that every sexual act should be done with the possibility of pregnancy
  • The Catholic Church teaches that using artificial contraception is sinful because the couple are not being open to new life and so are preventing God’s plan, its use could encourage selfishness and infidelity
  • They only allow natural methods of contraception e.g. the rhythm method
  • “Be fruitful and multiply”

Q

Q

Explain why some Muslims oppose the use of contraceptives

A
  • Some Muslims argue that contraception interferes with God’s plans, and that God gives people the strength and means to cope with children
  • “Do not kill your children for fear of poverty”
  • Muslims believe that contraception methods that cause abortion e.g. the morning after pill are wrong
21
Q

Explain why some Muslims support the use of contraceptives

A
  • For Muslims, contraception is only considered in the context of marriage, and not for unmarried people
  • Children are considered a gift from God, there is an expectation that Muslim couples will have children
  • Most Muslims accept the use of contraception for family planning as long as it is not used to prevent having children altogether
  • The Qur’an contains no direct teaching about contraception, but some scholars use the following text to argue that Islam does not want to impose hardship on people and so would be sympathetic to family planning: “God wishes to lighten your burden”
22
Q

What are other Christian views on contraception?

A
  • Many Christians do agree that some forms of contraception should not be used because the egg may already be fertilised and therefore conception has taken place
  • The coil and the morning after pill prevent the egg from developing, which some people see as causing an abortion
  • Christians who believe in the protection of human life from the moment of conception are opposed to these methods
