Catholic Answer:
It still is.
The Catholic Church considers that the sexual act has two dimensions: the unitive and the procreative. The unitive only properly takes place within marriage and is the total gift of oneself to the other person. The procreative requires openness to life. This does not mean that each and every sexual act must end in conception, it does however mean that nothing must be done to artificially exclude fertility from the act. The pill and other types of contraception do this and as such are considered to remove a fundamental aspect from the conjugal relation. This would then be a disordered and objectively sinful act.

Why is the Catholic religion against the pill?
Not suppose to interfere with God's creation of human beings. Additionally, the pill can act not only as a contraceptive but also as an abortifacient (meaning it induces abortion) by preventing the fertilized egg/embryo from implanting in the lining of the uterus.
What events contributed to the decline of the Roman Catholic Church?
I am not sure what you refer to in your question. The Catholic Church has not fallen. Has the Church had failings over the years? Of course it has. The Church is composed of humans and humans are weak and very prone to temptations from Satan. Satan has made the destruction of the Catholic Church his prime mission. We know from the promise of Christ that he will never succeed but he will also never give up trying. Satan will attack the Church from both inside the Church and the outside until the end of time.'St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.'
What year did the Roman Catholic Church condemn products for contaceptive?
It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. The first document that we have of the Church officially condemning contraception was between A.D. 50 and A.D. 120 in the Didache (first link below). The Catholic Church has *always* condemned contraception, but aside from a few outstanding examples (like in the Didache) Christians have always been known for their pro-life stance, and most especially on their opposition to any form of birth control, so it was never a big issue. Then, of course, the protestant heresy came along in the 16th century, and in the 20th century, at the Lambeth conference in England, the Anglican Church first allowed contraception "in extreme circumstances" - this was the first time in history that a group that called itself "Christian" ever permitted God's plan for marriage to be frustrated. Ever pope since the Lambeth conference has gone on record as condemning birth control, but then in the 1960's the "pill" came along, and society welcomed it, forcing Pope Paul VI to issue the most prescience Encyclical ever: Humanae Vitae (second link below), since then every pope has gone on record as condemning in the most forceful language the grave sin of contraception.
Why is the Catholic Church of Rome stopping Filipino's from using condoms and the pill as well as comparing it to abortion?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ. As such, it's only reason for existence is to bring Our Blessed Lord to people and people to God. The Church does not force anyone to do anything. As the representative of Our Blessed Lord, the Church's duty at all times and all places is to preach His message. Part of that message is that God created us as human beings and that if we misuse our bodies, in other words, use them in a way for which they were not designed, we are going to hurt ourselves. Sex was created by God as a good, it is designed for a two fold purpose, to unite men and women in the matrimonial embrace and bring them closer. It's second purpose is the begetting of offspring; those are the only two purposes for which God created sex. Both condoms and the pill frustrate those purposes and result in other evils. The Church, as the spokesman for Our Blessed Savior preaches His message, but does not compel people to follow it.

Why is the Catholic Church against the use of condoms and the Pill?
The Catholic Church believes that every act of sexual intercourse should have every chance of conceiving a child if that is possible. Whether or not people in developing countries can afford more children, and whether large families create a generational cycle of poverty is considered of no importance.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Church believes that marriage, and the act of procreation are gifts from God, in a very real sense they mirror God. They are things that we have received from Him to be used as He has made them. To use a condom is to pervert the marriage act into something it is not, this is a sin. A sin is anything that goes against why God created it. The marriage act was created for the twofold act of intimacy and love between a married couple and for the production of new human life - both of which are gifts of God. The use of condoms frustrates both of these goals, turning the marriage act into mutual masturbation and rendering it infertile. Thus condom use is a sin and damages the person -whether they are in a developing country or an industrial one - where they live doesn't matter, it is still a sin.Condom use reflects the perversion of life: instead of the joyfully living a fulfilled life in God, we are turning away from God towards ourselves and our own pleasure. In the end it makes us unhappy, to paraphrase St. Augustine: we only find our happiness in God. The Church in condemning condom use is trying to help people.
