No place for Catholics in making contraceptives

THE recent loss of jobs at Wyeth in Newbridge, Co Kildare, raises a moral question for Catholics working for international pharmaceutical manufacturing companies.

As reported in the press, Wyeth produces contraceptive pills in its Irish businesses.

Catholics who are sincere about their religion should not work in these areas. Artificial contraceptives, in the case of humans, are always immoral and destructive, being designed to prevent the transmission of human life, and even to kill it after conception.
