Card. Kasper made the following comments in an interview with WNYC Radio’s Brian Lehrer as transcribed in this article [‘The Church is not against birth control at all’: Cardinal Walter Kasper](http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/the-church-is-not-against-birth-control-at-all-cardinal-walter-kasper) :
> Lehrer asked whether married couples who already have “three children
> and live in poverty” should not be “allowed to use birth control to
> prevent more conception?”

> [Card.] Kasper responded, “**Well, the Church is not against birth
> control at all.** … **It’s about the methods of birth control.** … I
> do not want to enter into this characteristic…how they have to do it.
> It’s their personal conscience and their personal responsibility.”

The question is whether the Catholic Church is NOT all against birth control, and from the Cardinal's words, whether there are licit methods of birth control.
cf. [Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2366-2372 | The fecundity of marriage](http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p3s2c2a6.htm)
