Research Proposal The subject our group has chosen to write our paper about is “Should the Catholic Church reform its contraception Policy?” The catholic faith has a strong policy against using contraceptives whenever one might use one to prevent unwanted births. In our paper we will be writing and researching whether or not the Catholic Church should change their view on the use of contraceptives. Everyone in our group will be providing at least two viable resources and any further help needed will be provided by the other members of the group. If any helpful news is come across the other members of the group will also share for further assistance. A few of the resources we are using are: -[] -[] -[|http://go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?action=interpret&id=GALE|CX3005400044&v=2.1&u=munc80314&it=r&p=GVRL&sw=w&authCount=1] -[|http://go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?action=interpret&id=GALE|CX3005400055&v=2.1&u=munc80314&it=r&p=GVRL&sw=w&authCount=1#A]

All sources provided explain the view point of the Catholic Church on the use of contraceptives and the view point of those people who think the view point should be rethought and made different.

In 1968, Pope Paul VI issued the //Humanae Vitae//, a document that has been regarded as the Catholic Church's official take on contraception. A great majority of the Catholic Church agrees with this document, but there are also Catholics who strongly oppose it. Health concerns include the spread of HIV because the church doesn't allow condoms. Also, many Catholic families have become overwhelming large, seeing as how each time a married couple has sex "procreation" is the sole goal in the eyes of the Church. This coincides with the effects of not allowing birth control pills. The bishops and higher church officials simply cannot grasp a marriage without contraceptive options, because these officials are not allowed to get married; they do not have the temptations and they do not have to face the hardships married couples face.
