Well, I had never heard anything about that, but it could have happened. I know that certain orders within the church have never been big on the birth control doctrine (like the Jesuits), but I think with documents like Humanae Vitae and the current pope's pretty obvious conservativism on the subject that things aren't changing any time soon.
Honestly? I had always disagreed with the whole birth control thing (I come from a liberal family and pretty liberal religious atmosphere) until I took a class on the pope's teachings this summer. Now I can't see how the church could actually reconcile the utter conflict of theology that would result in saying that birth control is ok.
