The Catholic Church may not be the only reason for the population explosion in Latin America, but it is certainly a contributing factor. In the Philippines, the Catholic Church has used every scrap of its considerable clout to keep any viable contraceptive option away from women. They even tried to get the sale of condoms, pills, and IUDs banned, fortunately without success. They have succeeded in persuading many of the faithful not to use them, though they provide no assistance whatsoever in feeding the resulting babies. Once on a TV talk show, a priest gave a now-infamous answer to the question "how are women supposed to feed these big families?" He said "Idagdag ng tubig sa sopas", or "add some water to the soup". Must be a big believer in loaves and fishes. In the immortal words of Monty Python: Every sperm is sacred Every sperm is great Every sperm that's wasted God gets quite irate.... It is also quite justifiable to say that in the Philippines the Church had a very real and aggressive role in supporting many of the more brutal methods the Spanish colonists adopted in their efforts to control the natives.
