So why do you think they do it (unless you think that they don't actually try to control that)?

I think in modern day it hurts them a lot more than it helps, if you're looking at it from a secular viewpoint. I don't understand why they would push it now when it only causes confusion and people to turn away from the church.

Of course, if you believe it comes from God, then they feel like it's how God wants it to be and they don't really have a choice. 

The Catholic Church for one has some strange concepts about things like contraception and in-vitro fertilization. I feel as though they're more concerned with in-vitro than they are with rape (not specifically talking about the pedo thing, just the concept of rape in general).
