The Pope is against contraception because it prevents the creation of a living natural person, which is the purpose of marital sex. Pre-marital sex is a mortal sin.

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Holy Father is against contraception because he is the Vicar of Christ and may only expound God's teachings. From the Catechism: 2366 Fecundity is a gift, an end of marriage, for conjugal love naturally tends to be fruitful... 2367 Called to give life, spouses share in teh creative power and fatherhood of God (see Eph 3:14; Mt 23:9) "Married couples should regard it as their proper mission to transmit human life and to educate their children; they should realize that they are thereby cooperating with the love of God the Creator and are, in a certain sense, its interpreters...

When looking at all of this, remember that as God's children, we are called to be humble, to accept the teachings of the God who created us and to live in accordance with His Wishes, notour wants, as human nature is fallen, we tend to want want is actually bad for us. Contraception is an evil which falls into this category.

The Catholic Church does not want a ban on contraception but it does teach that contraception does great harm to men and women as it interferes with the natural sexual creative process for which God created man and woman.. The Church therefore teaches that contraception should not be used but does not teach that be must be made illegal by the state.

Because it is a mortal sin. It is a mortal sin because it is against the Natural Law and God's plan for marriage. Sex must always be ordered toward procreation. Contraception deliberately closes the sex act to procreation.
