Because in my (and many other people's) opinion, opposing contraception is a bad idea that would drastically lower the quality of life for almost everyone. If God opposes all contraception, then that suggests a God with very little understanding, compassion, or empathy for the human condition. If that's true, then we're all thoroughly screwed. So, "inconceivable" wouldn't be the right word, but "terrifying" might.
BTW, I suspect that the real roots of Catholic opposition to contraception come from the days of the Protestant Reformation, when the Church was desperately trying to out-breed the Protestants. ______________________________________________________________________ Steve Sloan .........
