Immanuel Bushu. Excerpts:

Mr&Mrs Kola

Aïcha Marianne and Irénée KOLA

The Roman Catholic Church disallows artificial birth control. In its place the Church encourages natural family planning as the best birth control method. The Church says contraceptives are against God’s sexuality plan and debase women. It is for this reason the Douala Archdiocesan Family Life Apostolate has embarked on a campaign against all forms of artificial birth control methods, arguing natural family planning helps to build stronger families, protect women’s health and children, and reduce spousal abuse. Douala Archdiocesan Family Life Apostolate coordinators, Aïcha Marianne and Irénée KOLA throw more light on the church’s position. Excerpts:
