Sorry, missed that question.
Yes, I hold the same position as the Catholic Church that sex between a (presumed husband and wife) must be open to the possibility of pregnancy. That does not deny the act of sex when a women naturally cannot get pregnant during certain periods of the month. (Natural family planning.)
It's a much larger explanation as to why I hold that view (and we're getting ready for dinner soon, so I don't have much time!!) It boils down to the belief that God created everything with a definite purpose, and to act outside of that purpose is to act outside of the will of God. In this case, the purpose of sex is to procreate. To do something to deny that possibility by unnatural means (i.e. birth control) thus denies God's will and is sinful. That's it in a nutshell.
Sex not intended for pregnancy isn't always immoral such as sex during times of the month that pregnancy has little chance of occurring. But the use of birth control to remove any chance of pregnancy even during those times of the month is immoral.
