Catholic theory... days to avoid concenption?
In religious classes my teacher mentioned this theory or whatever that Catholics are supposed to use that the popes or some other highly-positioned people created... since Catholics aren't supposed to use any form of birth control, so we wont have to kill a human life, there are certain days youre supposed to have sex to avoid pregnency... whats this called?

This is not a 'Catholic Theory' per say, but a basic medical fact that women aren’t always fertile. This has been practiced by women for millenniums and as your teacher told you, it is the ONLY contraceptive measure to be endorsed by the Catholic Pope.
A woman's cycle is just that, a cycle. So on different days, different parts of the cycle will take place. Women have days when they are more likely, and days when they are less likely to become pregnant.
It's is generally called the Fertility Awareness Method and it is claimed to be, at the very, very best, 85% effective.

I believe you're talking about the rhythm method. There's another variation, called the standard days method.
However, I wouldn't rely on this if I were you. 13 out of every 100 women who use this method become pregnant. Also, I believe that the Catholic church is letting up on condoms, purely for the reason that unprotected sex is very dangerous.
Here's the site I got the information from:
