I LOVE these videos. I'm wondering where these seminarians are from. I saw they had the Intercessors of the Lamb, who are in Omaha, but I was an Omaha seminarian and I don't recognize these guys.

I was trained as both a nursing assistant and an EMT, and the term is "insulin shock" not "diabetic shock." Further, it is no more a made up term than the term "heart attack. " You obviously have no idea what you're talking about and you are only making a fool of yourself now.

@lesorciercalifornien actually, when properly done, nfp is very effective

even though I don't agree with the message, this is very cleverly written, lol.

"who worries about consequences?"

I laughes for around 10 minutes at this :D

People use the pill because it WORKS. Unlike Roman roulette which is a crapshoot.

They don't always have the same ends, but it's true that they sometimes can. Nevertheless, having the same ends doesn't give them the same moral value (which would be called teleologism, see Veritatis Splendor #71-83). Christopher West addresses that issue in the other response I gave you. To answer your questions: 1. Artificial birth control violates God's plan and is never permissible. 2. NFP permits avoiding children "indefinitely" IF for "serious reasons," see Humanae Vitae.

@TobiasMurphy You can't separate either; to do so is to nullify everyone's love. You are overgeneralizing contraception. Seeing as how NFP is a behavioral method of birth control (semantics aside), they are one in the same. NFP and all contraception strive for the same ends. No mater how the AMA or the Church defines it.

Riddle me this, if a married couple uses birth control after they have completed their family is that "use"? How about using NFP to avoid ever having children, is that "use"?

@skamic88

I could never do the position of the Church justice in this little box or even in a few pages (my shortest paper on this topic is 7 pages), but I did some searching for you. Now I'm not a Christopher West groupie, but google "God, Sex, & Babies:

What the Church Really Teaches about Responsible Parenthood." As for misogyny, the Church teach that men and women, in their great dignity, are complementary. Regarding NFP, it is not the rhythm method and FAR more effective.

@skamic88

Not to reinvent the wheel (and for lack of space), Google "Humanae Vitae" for a basic answer. For more depth, read Karol Wojtyla's "Love and Responsibility," which describes the difference between love and use. In short, however, contraception divides sexual pleasure from the context of family and personal sexuality. NFP doesn't.

Also, keep in mind that the Church has the right to define her terms, especially since she speaks all languages. She defines contraception differently.

[skamic88]

@TobiasMurphy Pray tell, how does "NFP allow women to keep their dignity," whereas contraception does not. Keep in mind that NFP is a form of contraception (an ineffective one, but contraception none the less). Moreover please explain how the church is not misogynistic!

contraception - "the deliberate prevention of conception or impregnation by any of various drugs, techniques, or devices; birth control" (Dictionary com Unabridged).
