I will preface by saying that I am opposed to all forms of birth control; barriers, hormone imbalancers, etc. However, I would like some Church sources and citations on why the body of Christ should be opposed to them. Personally I see hormone imbalancers as an unnatural alteration of the original design and end goal of the human reproductive system, on par with using estrogen to make a man less aggressive.

You can't separate the sexual act from the procreative act without being degenerate, subversive and evil.

Read Humanae Vitae

It's for a similar reason for why masturbators and homosexuals are denied: it is a perversion of what our purpose is and is a direct affront to our relationship with God. That being said, cessation and repentance automatically enrolls you back into being able to receive the Body of Christ.

If you engage in unnatural, sterile sexual acts what authority do you have in condemning homosexual acts, which cry to heaven for vengeance? Read Humanae Vitae.

Do you perhaps watch E. Michael Jones? You're the second person I've seen claim that sodomy "cries out to heaven for vengeance" and I cannot help but wonder, if it's a biblical quote, where it says this in the Bible.

Nah, all Catholics should use that term. Even in Italy we use those same words.

I did and it just confused me more. Despite its attempts, it failed to establish a meaningful distinction between "Acts that frustrate the procreative design of sex" and NFP. Engaging in NFP is a conscious attempt to remove procreation from the sexual act, regardless of whether it is by natural means or not. So is engaging in sex while a woman is pregnant or after she hits menopause. Humanae Vitaes attempts to be more permissive all seemed like rationalizations, and not very strong ones at that. None of the quotes I've seen from the church fathers on the subject were so incoherent. They were very clear that sex is only for conception.
Honestly, if sex is so perilous that the Church is only permissive of it under very narrow and specific contexts, then there's no reason for Catholics to have sex anymore. Just use artificial insemination if you want kids. Anything more than that is like taking a man to an all you can eat buffet and telling him not to commit gluttony. It's cruel.
