hold a view similar to the Roman Catholic position, which allows Natural Family Planning on principle while at the same time opposing artificial contraception. Other Orthodox Church leaders maintain this interpretation is too narrowly focused on the procreative function of sex, not enough on its unitive function, and thus allow more freedom for contraceptive use among married couples. Some Orthodox Christians, like Roman Catholics, consider using contraceptives not only a sin, but also a "mortal sin" in the manner of "unnatural carnal sins", along with homosexuality, bestiality, masturbation, etc.Ascetical Trials, chapter "The eight main vices, with their divisions and branches", by Saint Ignatius Briachaninov; Sexuality and chastity Oriental Orthodoxy The Coptic Orthodox Church approves of contraception for health and socioeconomic reasons. It is against all abortion except when the mother's life is in danger. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo is against all forms of hormonal contraception and the only birth control it advocates is abstinence on Orthodox feast days (up to 250 days a year) and when the women are fertile. Protestantism As part of the Protestant Reformation, Reformers began to more strongly emphasize the unitive pleasures of marriage. Still, all major early Protestant Reformers, and indeed Protestants in general until the twentieth century, condemned birth control as a contravention of God's procreative purpose for marriage. As scientists advanced birth control methods during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, some Protestants continued to reject them, while other Nonconformists welcomed these advances. Anabaptism Mennonites The Mennonite Church USA, the General Conference Mennonite Church, and the Conservative Mennonite Conference have adopted statements indicating approval of modern methods of contraception. For example, while also teaching and encouraging love and acceptance of children, the Conservative Mennonite Conference maintains, "The prevention of pregnancy when feasible by birth control with pre-fertilization methods is acceptable." A study published in 1975 found that only 11% of Mennonites believed use of birth control was "always wrong". The Conservative Mennonite Conference, however, does not represent all Conservative Mennonites (many of whom would view the Conservative Mennonite Conference as a mainline body) and as such, certain Conservative Mennonites, as with certain Beachy Amish Mennonite fellowships, maintain a prohibition against the use of birth control, though natural family planning is permitted. Old Colony Mennonites, like the Old Order Amish, do not officially allow birth control practices. Amish Not only are all types of artificial birth control forbidden in Old-Order Amish communities, but
