That said, this encyclical makes clear that those of you who support birth control don’t even understand the issue.

Let me just state that you might try a slighly more persuasive and diplomatic tack to encourage those fundamentally disposed to disagree on this point. Saying that they/we cannot even understand will not help open ears to listen.

Second, I would find a different way of making your point than this article which makes it abundantly clear that a strong majority of the priesthood and of practicing Catholics could not understand the point either and that it created great dissention in the Church itself.

“this article which makes it abundantly clear that a strong majority of the priesthood and of practicing Catholics could not understand the point either”

Good grief. That’s what you took away from that article?

That’s why I don’t bother to try persuasion. The reason you don’t understand is not that you’re stupid, nor even that you’re bigoted. If that were the case, something might be done.

You don’t understand because you refuse to understand, and I have no patience with that.
