Rhythmic Breeding

A new article suggests that the so-called rhythm method—abstaining from sex during a woman's most fertile period—actually relies for its success in avoiding pregnancies on the probability that embryos conceived at the edges of the fertile period will not implant or will not become viable.

The Catholic Church's stance on birth control is that only the rhythm method is ethical and may be used as it is the only form of contraception that (they think) doesn't cause embryo deaths.

Can the Catholic Church be incorrect on a scientific proclamation? I am aghast.
