Ridiculous. Listening to a man who will never marry, never have children, and never worry about where his income is coming from and whether it will meet his needs LECTURE people about marriage, whether to have children, how many to have, and whether they will be able to provide for them. We live in the present. Not in the 1500s or even the 1950s.

@bilsemon One does not have to experience some difficulty to see the remedy. Often someone outside can see it better. A doctor does not have to experience a heart attack to see that I am about to have one. A mechanic does not have to seize up his own engine to give wise advice to change my oil. The most amazing discussion of marital sexuality was by Pope John Paul II's "Theology of the Body". Self giving LOVE is the path to happiness! That is Fr. Day's message.

I have one name for those who use natural family planning: parents.

@realistichope I have one name for those who talk about things they do not understand (and refuse to try to understand) .....ignorant.

Paul VI went on to specifically permit "recourse to the infertile periods" (HVpp16) and in HV pp 24 he specifically calls upon scientists to study the natural cycle "to elucidate more thoroughly the conditions favorable to a proper regulation of births." In addition to Humanae Vitae, see John Paul IIs encyclicals Familiaris Concortio, 1981 and Evangelium Vitae, 1995 and Benedict XVIs encyclical Deus Caritas Est. The teaching of the Church on NFP when used correctly is very clear.

[danoramatoo]

I agree wholeheartedly with Pope Pius. But dont ignore the paragraph before this one (#53) where he writes: through virtuous continence (which Christian law permits in matrimony when both parties consent). This is Natural Family Planning defined.

Couples using NFP do not frustrate its natural powers but rather respect them and prayerfully choose whether or not to engage in the marital act at a given time based on the Catholic principle of responsible parenthood. (Humanae Vitae pp10.)

@jacrn323 your pathological concern for fertilized ovum is truly.......PATHOLOGICAL!!! im here..... i made it too this plane and that is all that counts.  most all ovums naturally never make contact to the womans uterus in order to grow and evolve into a human. whose fault is that? sick indeed. someone else being so involved in my bodily processes and my personal procreative choices.

[jacrn323]

@bilsemon He IS married (to Jesus and the Church), he DOES have children (hundreds -- a priest is a father, responsible for souls of/ to all parishoners in the diocese. He as the same need to practice the virtues and the roles of leader, protector and provider as a husband and father of the home do. So sorry you are so angry; this comes from a place of pride and perhaps hurt. I hope that your caner of ignorance is healed soon because you'll be much happier, more at peace and with joy!

@angelakh There is a form of natural family planning however that IS good for unmarried women, called Creighton Model Fertility Care System which teaches appreciation and therefore affirms/supports chastity. And when young girls learn to chart their cycles, they not only have an appreciation for it, but they have medical knowledge of things that can indicate other problems which can be treated by Creighton doctors who also respect the dignity of women and marriage.

[jacrn323]

@dragonpat666 So sorry you view concern for your body and the human lives that result in death from your neglect of caring about them from the birth control you use ...as pathological. I will; pray for the cancer of indifference to be healed, and the apathy lifted from your heart's eyes. Also, don't forget that you started out as a fertilized ovum. Let's not be selfish to think that WE deserve to be born, but others don't.

[dragonpat666]

@jacrn323 thanks for the info but i can used the many forms of birthcontrol available to me. its pathological to worry about ovums.

[jacrn323]

@dragonpat666 Actually, the Creighton Model FertilityCare System is a PERFECT system for you then:) It's natural, and it's 99.5% with even irregular cycles:) Check it out! It's TOTALLY healthy and even more successful than the pill, and you aren't aborting your children through the chemically contraceptive methods. :)

[jimvandamme]

@dragonpat666 .....AND you should read "Fertility cycles and Nutrition" (CCL) to see if you can help your irregularity.

[jimvandamme]

@dragonpat666 No, you don't ovulate 2 days after your period. You need to learn this! BTW it's 99% effective.
