Mt. 18:5 or 19:14 to argue against contraception?

score:2

Accepted answer

Although not a theologian, Mother Teresa of Calcutta in her speech to the National Prayer Breakfast, Washington, DC, February 3, 1994 (video @19:30) makes the connection:

I never give a child to a couple who has done something not to have a child.* Jesus said: "Anyone who receives a child in my name, receives me." [Mt. 18:5]

*e.g., by contraception, which she mentions beginning @20:14
