My fiancé and I just took the natural family planning course. It was funny and awkward at points lol but it’s way more intimate and a team-effort than just “here, take some synthetic hormones” and have all the responsibility be on the woman.

The best explanation I heard was on your podcast. Contraceptives stop your body from doing what it is naturally designed to do where as natural family planning allows your body to continue to function naturally. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world! 🙏🏻

Has the Church have anything to say of what Holy Communion will do for a child in utero, taken by the mother?

😇

Am I crazy or did he talk for 10 minutes without ever answering the question he posed in the title?

If I get married one day, this is the ONLY way I'm having kids. NFP is the most natural, most healthy, and most spiritual way to have children :)

I'm a new Catholic who's wife is not. She is willing to do NFP but doesn't understand what the difference is between that and contraception, and I have had a hard time explaining it to her in a convincing way. When it comes up again, I'd like to see what she thinks about this explanation. It makes perfect sense to me. The sexual act is oriented toward the generation of life as God designed it. To perform the act and simultaneously sterilize it of it's procreative ability is a desecration of the act; it's having sex on our terms and for our purposes rather than God's. I get that, and so does my wife. But she sees NFP is the same thing. But hopefully she'll see the point if she hears that there is a difference between refraining from the act itself to avoid a pregnancy and performing the act in a sterile fashion to avoid a pregnancy. Same outcome (to her point). But different acts! Different acts that are or objectively different moral qualities. Nothing wrong with not entering. But there is something wrong with entering and then desecrating. With NFP, a husband a wife are accepting of the natural and God ordained purpose of the act they are undergoing together. With contraception, we negate the God ordained primary purpose and put our own comfort and pleasure in the place of God.

Why do you not say that NFP is to be utilized only when Grave reasons are present? It is disservice in my opinion. Most of couples do not satisfy conditions for utilizing NFP.... And therefore this should not be promoted havily. It should be known among gynecologists to advise couples when the bad sickness is present for example.

There is not a difference between them. Both have the same intention. Both utilize human discovered science. Both are "anti-procreative" . Neither are 100% effective. Neither are loving " freely, totally, faithfully and fruitfully".

Haha.. IV entered a lot of churches.. 😂😆😜😝
