No clue. Not something I or the vast majority of American Catholics subscribe to.
But the truth is not a democracy.
I am sure a lot of people ignore the churches teaching on condoms/birth control etc, because it's not convenient for them, but at the end of the day it's a sin and a serious sin at that.
more info... www.catholic.com/tract/birth-control ; a good article condemning contraception.
a quick quote from that article...
The Church also, fulfilling the role given it by Christ as the identifier and interpreter of apostolic Scripture and apostolic tradition, has constantly condemned contraception as gravely sinful.
and...
The Church also has affirmed that the illicitness of contraception is an infallible doctrine: "The Church has always taught the intrinsic evil of contraception, that is, of every marital act intentionally rendered unfruitful. This teaching is to be held as definitive and irreformable. Contraception is gravely opposed to marital chastity, it is contrary to the good of the transmission of life (the procreative.aspect of matrimony), and to the reciprocal self-giving of the spouses (the unitive.aspect of matrimony); it harms true love and denies the sovereign role of God in the transmission of human life" (Vademecum for Confessors 2:4, Feb. 12, 1997).
so while contraception might seem like no big deal to us, God see's it differently, and as usual... He's right, we are wrong.
