Importance of Catholic Church

As an institution, the Catholic Church is one of the most important groups when dealing with contraceptives and family planning. The church has significant sway over a majority of the population, and works frequently with poorer citizens around the world. This means that the beliefs of the church are ones that tend to be followed. Melinda frequently references the church’s rejection of contraceptives to show how old institutions must be remade if change is to happen. However, it is important to know that there are leaders and followers of the Catholic church who disagree with the church’s stance on family planning, and are striving to change the viewpoints of the older members.
