Catholics are not alone in holding that birth control is a sin against God.

Father Patrick Henry Reardon, pastor of All Saints Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church in Chicago, who’s also an author and senior editor for the Christian magazine Touchstone, spoke in a recently published YouTube video of how throughout history until the 20th century all Christians, not just the Orthodox, but the Church fathers and Protestants as well, regarded birth control use as immoral and a sin.

“Now it’s lost,” he states in the video. “And the Church really must not go with the flow on this matter. Because this really is an insult to God.”

Watch Father Reardon deliver his sound message with clarity on God’s gift of life and the consequences of separating procreation with the marital act:

Now mankind is facing the prospect of depopulation—something that earlier happened only once—in the 14th century during the "Black Death". In the end, the "demographic winter" is based on the loss of faith and hope. That is why, it is not a coincidence that Western Europe, which has largely deviated from Christianity, now has the lowest birth rate in the world. .

Not only is this immoral, but it is danger to security of nations. One only need to look at Western Europe. They have nearly no young people. Meanwhile, the Muslims increase in number constantly.

Finally someone who understands the problem and it all starts with contraception. Well said.
