added section
What local Churches, other than the Church of Greece in the early 20th c., condemn non-abotifacient means of contraception? The article shows that the OCA does not, and the Church of Russia does not (see The ''Basis of the Social Concept''). The tone of the article makes it sound more up in the air than that. --[[User:Fr Lev|Fr Lev]] ([[User talk:Fr Lev|talk]]) 20:04, June 21, 2018 (UTC)
 
== Synopsis Unacceptable ==
I find the synopsis misleading and unsubstantiated. No source is given for this claim, which I fail to see the logic of: "Some also hold that the Fathers of the Church have not expressed opinions on the "moment" at which life begins, so that our clear distinctions between non-abortifacient and abortifacient contraception are anachronistic, and would not have existed in the minds of the Fathers. Consequently, these also hold that as a result, the Fathers' condemnation extends to all contraceptive methods."
 
A number of opens are listed by name with no sourcing. I have seen an interview with Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev where he lists "contraception" as something uncritically accepted in the secular world, but I'd need to see something more definitive to indicate he dissents from the official teaching of the Russian Church, which permits (non-abortifacient) contraception. --[[User:Fr Lev|Fr Lev]] ([[User talk:Fr Lev|talk]]) 21:11, June 21, 2018 (UTC)
