I think it's rather unreasonable of you to expect me to provide proof that the church approved of birth control methods that we don't even know were in use. Anyway, do keep in mind that the pope used to be the secular prince of Rome as well as a religious leader, so the church's direction was often dictated as much - if not more so - by real world political concerns as by what the Bible says.
