Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Birth control for Roman Catholics is prohibited except for abstinence or natural family planning.Referral to a priest for questions about this can be of great help.Nurses can teach the techniques of natural family planning if they are familiar with them; otherwise,this should be referred to the health care provider or to a support group of the Church that instructs couples in this method of birth control.Sterilization is prohibited unless there is an overriding medical reason.
