Q

Christian attitudes towards marriage

A

All Christian Churches will very much support marriage. The Bible states that ‘it is not good for man to be alone’ (Genesis 2) and as such being in a union with another person who can show you love and support is deemed the perfect state for living.
The Roman Catholic Church believes that marriage is necessary to fulfil the command from God to ‘be fruitful and multiply’ (Genesis 1:28). Sex before a marriage is the sin of fornication and is sexually immoral, as such to fulfil this command a couple must marry and procreate. Sexual intercourse is a gift from God, it says in mark 10:7-9, married couples will become ‘one flesh’ this allows the couple to fully join together a marriage is needed for the coupe to enjoy this. Marriage is the most suitable relationship for bringing up children being the pattern for society. Roman Catholics view marriage as a life-long commitment, a sacrament that cannot be broken as evidenced by ‘till death do us part’.
In church of England churches it welcomes any heterosexual couple to marry in the church, whether they are Christian or baptised. the church also allows mixed faith marriages however the service remains unchanged and all vows are said in the presence of god

Q

Christian views on contraception ROMAN CATHOLIC VIEW

A

Contraception is an artificial method of preventing pregnancy. Within the Roman Catholic Church there is deemed very few necessary reasons for contraception, contraception breaks ‘natural law’ and as such should not be used. In the Bible God commands that mankind ‘be fruitful and multiply’ (Genesis 1:28) and as such the Roman Catholic Church believes that a married couple should fulfil their duty to God and procreate. If a couple were to use contraception they would not be fulfilling this commandment and also without the chance of procreation the Church deems sexual relations a ‘non-marital act’. The Bible also states that children are a gift from God as evidenced by ‘The children whom God has graciously given your servant’ (Genesis 33:5) and as such the use of contraception could interfere with Gods divine plan.The Roman Catholic Church does have some very few reasons for using contraception; if the pregnancy would ensure the death of the mother, then contraception may be used due to the
