The Church of the Rose and Cross maintains the sanctity of life and the sacredness of motherhood. Family planning is considered a private matter left to the conscience of the members of the Church. The Church does not punish sin but does believe that there are consequences to all human decision. The Church leaves each member to make their own choices while cautioning them of the spiritual consequences that may be incurred. The Church does not oppose the use of contraception and leaves such decisions entirely to the individuals involved.
