"the intent of not conceiving is sinful"

No. The intent of not conceiving is in no way sinful. If that was the case, then sex with your wife during pregnancy would be sinful. Sex with your wife after menopause would be incredibly sinful. Christ calls us to love too. Otherwise he would have made women capable of conceiving during pregnancy and there would be no such thing as menopause.

Please don't continue to be wound up about NFP and Contraception being the same thing. (NFP is birth control but it is not contraception). It is not inconsistent to see NFP as a good and contraception as an evil. Well, if you still think it is the same thing ... then use NFP and recommend it to your kids. It is cheaper! They'll understand since 'it is the same.'
