About the only unanimous view is that abortifacients (that is, substances that induce abortion) are explicitly forbidden. For other contraceptives, it depends on whom you ask:
Some believe sex should only be for procreation, therefore there should be no contraceptives.
Others feel planned parenting is acceptable, and contraceptives used toward this goal are okay.
A third consideration is it's acceptable if your local spiritual father has blessed the use, and that they are not being used for selfish reasons.
