Not that it has much to do with the thread - but I have always wondered how Catholic women and men go against the Catholic church ban on birth control of any kind and I suppose during confession, they would have to confess to the priest that they have used birth control of some type. I thought the confession was only "valid" if the person would try not to do that sin again.

Does any Catholic person want to take that question? I am not trying to be a wiseguy - I am truly interested if a "repeated without trying to stop" sin is one that is forgiven by the priest.
