  • He's become Religious Fanatic, won't allow birth control?

    My brother has been married more then a dozen years. Has 4

    beautiful children and a wonderful wife. We grew up catholic... At some point over the last 5 years or so he has become fanatical / extreme in his religious faith. It has become a problem in his marriage because he won't allow the use of birth control... there is no reasoning with him. It's not what god wants him to do.. it is ruining his marriage and hurting his family.. and I fear he has already done irreparable harm to his relationship with his wife. I see it heading for divorce and am looking for any advice on how to reach him.

    Told him that while I believe in God / Jesus... Can't imagine this is what he wants for his family. Why is b/c not okay.. but other medical intervention is okay.

    His wife has cannot take any form of b/c or have her tubes tied because of medical conditions. HELP
