Contraceptives not only pollute the environment, but also are one of the causes of male infertility.
In a report, President Castleavy of the International Catholic Medical Federation said that women who take birth control pills contain hormones in their urine, which are excreted in large amounts and have caused serious damage to the environment over the years.
Castleavy said there is sufficient evidence to show that environmental pollution caused by birth control pills is a factor that cannot be ignored in leading to male infertility in Western countries. He asked the pharmaceutical factory to provide a detailed explanation of the impact on the environment.
After the report was published, it was immediately refuted by several institutions.
According to the Italian news agency Ansa, a contraceptive research institute has pointed out that after metabolism, hormonal oral contraceptives no longer have any estrogen specific effects. The Italian Pharmacological Society also stated that the hormones contained in birth control pills, such as estrogen, can be said to be ubiquitous, and plastics, disinfectants, and even meat contain this hormone.
The Roman Catholic Church opposes any form of artificial birth control measures, and Pope Benedict XVI reiterated this position last October.
Benedict XVI published an article commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Pope's encyclical "Control of Fertility", pointing out that contraception means the denial of the true love of a close relationship between husband and wife, and that this love between husband and wife is a way of expressing God's gift of life.
With the advent of the contraceptive pill, women around the world had greater freedom in sexual relations, and this circular was also published under the realities of the time. For this reason, many Catholics began to alienate the Holy See.
